An attack on a mosque in eastern Burkina Faso has killed dozens of people, AFP reported on Monday citing local and security sources.

"Armed individuals attacked a mosque in Natiaboani on Sunday around 5:00 a.m., resulting in several dozen being killed", a security source told AFP. 

"The victims were all Muslims, most of them men" who had come for the morning prayer, a local resident was quoted by AFP.
