Bodies of Europeans killed in Burkina Faso repatriated

OUAGADOUGOU: The bodies of two Spanish journalists and an Irish wildlife activist killed during an anti-poaching patrol in Burkina Faso were repatriated early Friday aboard a military plane.
Journalists David Beriain and Roberto Fraile were accompanying Rory Young, head of the Chengeta Wildlife group, in the Arly National Park on Monday when they were attacked.
Security sources said the assailants had approached the group, which also included soldiers and forest rangers, in pickup trucks and on motorbikes.
