An ambush on a convoy transporting employees of a Canadian mining company in Burkina Faso kills 37, in the country's deadliest attack in nearly five years.

The toll was likely to rise as there are a large number of people still unaccounted for, according to a security source.

The company blamed"armed bandits" for last year's attacks, and subsequently reinforced its armed escorts. The country's badly equipped, poorly trained and underfunded security forces have been unable to stem the violence, which has intensified throughout 2019 to become almost daily.
