American Troops Stop Terrorist Attack In THIS Country, One American Dead Most have heard of the recent terrorist attack in Burkina Faso, Africa, where Al Qaeda terrorists killed 28, including one American. However, most people havent heard that American troops were involved in taking them down. U.S. forces were primarily advising and providing information to the response forces from the Burkina Faso and French militaries, said Chuck Prichard, an Africa Command official. A small number of U.S. forces directly assisted the recovery operation in the hotel. In total, 124 hostages were released from the hotel. 54 were injured, and 28 unfortunately did not make it out alive. We are proud of our troops abroad that risk their lives. Much of the time, they dont receive any credit. Please thank our troops, and take a moment of your time to pray for their safety.
