Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleHeavily armed gunmen open fire Sunday at a hotel in the Ivory Coast beach resort of Grand-Bassam which is popular with Westerners, witnesses tell AFP.
The assailants, who were “heavily armed and wearing balaclavas, fired at guests at the L’Etoile du Sud (Southern Star), a large hotel which was full of expats in the current heatwave,” a witness tells AFP.
It was not immediately known how many people had been killed or injured or who was behind the shooting in the former French colonial capital, around 40 kilometers (25 miles) east of the commercial hub Abidjan.
