Fourteen people were killed and nine wounded in a bomb attack on a bus bringing children back from a school break in northern Burkina Faso Saturday, two security sources and a police source said.
It was not immediately clear who was responsible for the blast, which occurred in Sourou province near the border with Mali, or how many of the dead were children.
Extremist groups with links to al Qaeda and Islamic State (ISIS) have increased attacks in the area over the past two years despite international efforts to stamp them out.
Insurgents killed 35 mostly female civilians Dec. 24 after attacking a military outpost in Soum Province, also in the north. About 87 militants and local security forces were killed in the clash, authorities said.
Burkina has lost its reputation as a pocket of relative calm in the Sahel region as a homegrown insurgency has been amplified by a spillover of jihadist violence and crime from its chaotic northern neighbour Mali.
Attacks over the past year have killed hundreds and forced nearly a million people from their homes.

Nowhere in the source article does it state ‘muslims’.
You assume that ‘Extremist groups with links to al-Qaeda and Islamic State’ to be about Islam & muslims. How wrong you are!
It is against Islam to cause violence.

“….Throughout the 80s he (Bin Laden) was armed by the CIA and funded by the Saudis to wage jihad against the Russian occupation of Afghanistan. Al-Qaida, literally “the database”, was originally the computer file of the thousands of mujahideen who were recruited and trained with help from the CIA to defeat the Russians”…..
