Up to 600 people were shot dead in a matter of hours by al Qaeda -linked militants in an August attack on a town in Burkina Faso .

The French government security assessment nearly doubles the death toll cited in earlier reports.

The assault would make the assault one of the deadliest single attacks in Africa in recent decades .

The U.N. initially estimated the United Nations death toll was at least 200 .

Military junta leader Ibrahim Traore was derided as ' IB Captain Zero' for endorsing the construction of the trenches by civilians.

The military junta has not taken responsibility for having told civilians to dig the trenches without any protection, amid a heightened threat from jihadists.

Russian mercenaries who arrived in Burkina Faso almost a year ago have failed to bring calm to the country, French report says.
