At least 70 people were killed in
an attack on a remote village in Burkina Faso, the West African country's chief prosecutor said on Monday.
"The initial findings allowed the [fact-finding] team to provisionally estimate the number of people killed at seventy (70), most of them being children and the elderly (men and women)," prosecutor Simon Gnanou said in a statement.
The village of Zaongo in the country's Central North province was attacked on November 5, but the local gendarmerie learned of that the days later. A heavily guarded team of investigators and military officials was dispatched to the village late last week.
