2 Indians among 126 rescued

Two Indians are among 126 people freed from a restaurant in Burkina Faso that was taken under siege by al Qaeda linked gunmen. “Two Indians — Viraj and Satya — were in the hotel under siege by terrorists. Both are safely out,” the External Affairs Ministry spokesman said. The jihadist gunmen attacked a top hotel and a restaurant in the capital of Burkina Faso, before security forces ended the siege and killed four assailants.
