Burkina Faso: Gunmen Kill 6 People, Incl. Priest and Burn Down Church
---------------------------------------------------------------------

In Burkina Faso, gunmen have shot dead six people, including a priest,
during the celebration of Mass in a church in the north of the country,
before burning down the church. Attacks by extremist militias have been
on the rise since 2017, although no group has claimed responsibility for
Sunday's killing.
