“Suspected Boko Haram terrorists kill eight at French drilling camp in Niger,” AFP, November 22, 2018 (thanks to Lookmann):

Seven local employees of a French drilling firm and a government official were killed on Thursday when suspected Boko Haram gunmen stormed the compound where they were sleeping in southeastern Niger.

The attack shattered months of relative calm in the Diffa region near the Lake Chad basin, a strategic area where the borders of four countries converge.

The victims, all Nigerien, were shot dead at a site in Toumour, a village near the border with Nigeria where they had been drilling two deep-water wells to improve conditions for displaced people at a local refugee camp.

Seven of them were employees of Foraco, a French firm which specialises in drilling for mining and water projects.

The eighth victim was an official from Niger’s ministry of hydraulics….

Another five people were wounded, two of them seriously, it said, indicating that the injured were being transported to hospital in Diffa, capital of the region of the same name which flanks both Nigeria and Chad.

The location where they were staying had been chosen in agreement with the Nigerien army unit charged with protecting them, Foraco said.

The attackers also made off with two of the company’s pickup trucks.
– ‘No specific threats’ –

“There were about 15 employees there who under the protection of about 15 soldiers who had just set off to patrol the area at the time of the attack,” said Thierry Merle, head of Foraco’s Europe and Middle East division.

“We know that Boko Haram is active in the region but for now we’ve had no claim of responsibility, neither official nor unofficial,” he told AFP.

“We’ve been operating in Niger for 20 years, and at this site for a month,” Merle said, indicating there had been no specific threats.

“We have never faced a problem like this before.”

But a local official in Diffa blamed the attack on Boko Haram militants and one local resident said the gunmen had “looted many shops” and carried off foodstuffs “in a Foraco vehicle”….

Yes and that’s not cognitive dissonance, because: corrupt Chicago police end up having cases dismissed for disallowed evidence, freeing thugs to be emboldened.

Irrelevant since you don’t have to be necessarily the gunman to be responsible. If you could stop it and didn’t, either because of an act of omission or an act of corruption, you’re just as responsible.

The police may not be perfect, but you must admit there is plenty of gang violence in America to be begin with.

Which could have been stopped by competent law enforcement.
