OUAGADOUGOU (Reuters) – Suspected Islamist militants killed at least 18 people and wounded several during a raid on a restaurant in Burkina Faso’s capital overnight, but security forces shot dead both attackers and freed people trapped inside the building.

    When I read this early today, it amazed me to see that it was labeled “terrorism” right off the bat.

    Strike terror? Let’s talk about terror. Let’s talk about eternal terror…

    With what’s coming….. I sure wouldn’t want to be muslim.
