35 Killed as Roadside Bomb Hits Burkina Faso Convoy
---------------------------------------------------

Burkina Faso's government says at least 35 civilians were killed and
more than three dozen injured Monday after a military vehicle struck a
roadside bomb north of the capital. Fighting between rebels linked to
the Islamic State and the government has increased since January, when
Burkina Faso's army deposed President Roch Kaboré and installed
Lieutenant Colonel Paul-Henri Damiba as leader.
