MOGADISHU, Somalia — The African Union says a number of Burundian peacekeepers were killed in Tuesday's attack by Islamic extremist rebels who targeted a remote military base in Somalia.
The African Union condemned the attack and paid "tribute to the Burundian peacekeepers who lost their lives helping to bring peace and stability to Somalia," in a statement issued Wednesday.
That statement did not say how many peacekeepers were killed. African Union authorities generally do not give casualty tolls when peacekeepers are killed in Somalia.
