Hello,

the attack happened near Tourine. This place is close to one of the main travel-routes in Mauretania.

Who is planning to go to Mauretania, should think about if to go to this region.

Sad news.

Reading all the reports it sounds more like the attack was East of Zouerat just across the border from Western Sahara.
