NOUAKCHOTT, Mauritania (AP) - Four members of a French family were killed by gunmen during a robbery in eastern Mauritania Monday, police said.
The four were robbed at gunpoint and then sprayed with automatic weapons fire, said Mohamed Ould Lemine, the police chief of Aleg, the town 150 miles east of Mauritania's capital, Nouakchott.
The father of the family survived the attack, but was seriously injured and is being treated at a nearby hospital, said Lemine. Two children were among the dead.
