Friday, February fourteenth, the UN says at least 22 people have been killed in a village in the Northwest region of Cameroon. Over half of those killed were children. No one has claimed responsibility for Friday’s incident but the opposition parties blame the killing on the government.
Last night the
Splendid Hotel was reported to be on fire as commandos used explosives to force
their way into the hotel in an attempt to rescue hostages who had been seized
by the gunmen.
The four-star
hotel is a popular location with westerners, including United Nations staff.
Responsibility
for the attack on the hotel and the nearby Cappucino restaurant was claimed by al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb.
The
"mujahideen brothers" of Al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb "broke
into a restaurant of one of the biggest hotels in the capital of Burkina Faso,
and are now entrenched and the clashes are continuing with the enemies of the
religion," the SITE Intelligence Group quoted an Arabic-language AQIM
message as saying.
"O Allah,
make it successful, and O nation of the Cross, wait for the glad tidings of
what will harm you," the message added.
Gunshots and
explosions had been heard coming from the hotel and around 10 cars were alight
outside the hotel.
