Burkina Faso’s police chief said on Sunday that his forces shot dead a militant overnight in Ouagadougou and were searching for two others in the latest sign of growing insecurity in the West African country.
The incident was the first deadly clash with militants in the capital since an attack on the Splendid Hotel in January that killed 30 people and was claimed by Al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM).
Witnesses said there was a brief exchange of gunfire between police and a group of men early on Sunday morning in the northwestern suburb of Kilwin.
