French -Morccan photographer Leila Alaoui has died from injuries sustained in the Burkina Faso hotel attack, taking the death toll to 30. Ms Alaoui was taken to hospital but suffered a heart attack, human rights group Amnesty International has said.

She was carrying out work "focusing on women's rights" for the group.

The assault at a hotel in the capital, Ouagadougou, was claimed by al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM).

In a statement, Amnesty said Ms Alaoui had been shot twice in the attack, in the leg and thorax, and was believed to have been in a stable condition following an operation in hospital.

Mahamadi Ouedraogo, a driver working for Amnesty, was also killed in Friday's attack.

Media reports said both were parked outside the Cappucino cafe, opposite the luxury Splendid Hotel, one of the militants' targets, the group said.

At least three attackers died in the assaults, officials have said.

It was AQIM's first attack in Burkina Faso. The group is based in the Sahara Desert between Mali, Niger and Algeria.

Many of the victims of the assault were foreigners.
