"Gunmen opened fire on Israel's embassy in Mauritania on Friday, wounding three bystanders including a French woman."
"The woman was hit in a car outside a nightclub about 50 yards away. She was treated at a local hospital before being flown to France."
"The club owner and his son, both Mauritanians, were also wounded the government said in a statement."
"A French diplomat, who asked not to be identified, said both had dual nationality. No embassy staff were hurt in the shooting, which followed two attacks in late December by suspected alQaeda militants in the former French colony straddling the wetern end of the Sahara"
"Israel radio said a defense official left for Mauritania on Friday to check security measures and Israeli embassies around the world had been place on alert."

Remember that in December suspected Mauritanian members of alQaeda's North African branch killed four French tourists and several soldiers in two separate attacks. Allahu Akbar indeed...scum
