Burkina Faso's Foreign Ministry says one Canadian is among 18 killed in a suspected extremist attack on a popular restaurant in the country.
It says other foreigners killed include two Kuwaitis and one person each from France, Senegal, Nigeria, Lebanon and Turkey.
Suspected Islamic extremists opened fire at a Turkish restaurant in the West African country's capital late Sunday.
Seven Burkina Faso citizens were also killed and authorities said three other victims had not yet been identified.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the violence, which continued into the early hours Monday.
Gunfire could be heard almost seven hours after the attack began.
The attack brought back painful memories of the January 2016 attack at another cafe that left 30 people dead.
