A second deadly terror on the travel and tourism industry happened on Sunday at a Turkish restaurant in the four-star Splendid Hotel on Avenue Kwame Nkrumah, Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso. eTurboNews reported on the first deadly attack involving more than 130 people.

Today 6 Canadians, 4 Ukrainians,  as well as American visitors were among 28 killed in a terror attack in Ouagadougou, the capital city of the African country of Burkina Faso.

The attackers’ goal was to kill “white people”, and this included a 9-year-old girl.
