KUWAIT, Aug. 21 (Xinhua) -- Kuwait on Monday requested to join Burkina Faso's investigation into a terror attack that killed two Kuwaiti citizens in the western African nation.
Kuwait's Deputy Foreign Minister Khaled Al-Jarallah made the request in a memorandum handed to Burkina Faso's ambassador to Kuwait Abu Bakr Koty during a meeting, the official Kuwait News Agency reported.
The memorandum expressed Kuwait's wish to join the probe into the terror attack on a Turkish restaurant in Burkina Faso's capital Ougadougou on Aug. 13.
A total of 19 people were killed by unknown gunmen in the attack, including two Kuwaiti clerics identified as Waleed Al-Ali and Fahad Al-Husseini.
No group has claimed responsibility for the attack, though the country has witnessed a number of similar attacks carried out by Islamist militants.
