Burkina Faso security forces launched a massive manhunt on April 27, 2021, after the abduction of three Westerners along with a Burkinabe national, as a top security source warned at least two of them may have been killed. The group was abducted after an attack on an anti-poaching patrol in the landlocked West African nation, security and diplomatic sources said. A Spanish foreign ministry source told AFP in Madrid that two Spanish nationals were missing. A security source in Burkina Faso said an Irish man was also among the group.
