Deadly Attack by Uniformed Men Leaves 60 Dead in Burkina Faso

About 60 civilians were killed in an attack by men dressed in military uniforms in the village of Karma near the border with Mali. Burkina Faso's military rulers had declared a "general mobilisation" to combat the armed uprising only days before. Armed groups are thought to control about 40 percent of Burkina Faso in regional unrest that began in Mali in 2012. More than 10,000 people have been killed in the conflict, with some two million forced from their homes.
