The 2009 Nouakchott suicide bombing occurred in Nouakchott, the capital of Mauritania, on August 8, 2009, outside the embassy of France. It was the first instance of a suicide bombing in the history of Mauritania.[1] The bombing killed the perpetrator and wounded three people.[2]
The attack occurred three weeks after Mohamed Ould Abdel Aziz had claimed victory in the contested 2009 Mauritanian presidential election.[1] His inauguration took place on August 5, 2009, just three days before the Nouakchott bombing.[3]
