Michael James Riddering, who moved from Florida, worked at the Les Ailes de Refuge Orphanage, about 70 miles from Ouagadougou.

CHR Comment: The attack included a Cappuccino Café where missionaries had gathered for a meeting. It appears that the missionaries were not intended as targets but where caught up in the attack unintentionally.
