There’s been an attack on the Israeli embassy in the African country of Mauritania: 6 gunmen open fire on Israeli Embassy in Mauritania.

NOUAKCHOTT, Mauritania - Six gunmen opened fire on the Israeli Embassy in Mauritania’s capital early Friday morning, trading fire with guards before fleeing screaming “Allah Akbar,” witnesses said.

The six men arrived by car and regrouped in front of a discotheque in the capital of the nortwestern African country that is just beside the embassy, said Hamza Ould Bilal, a taxi driver who was parked outside the club, called the VIP.

He saw them pull out automatic weapons and scream “God is Great!” in Arabic, before assailing the embassy, he said.

Probably those darned Buddhists again.
