This was more than likely al Qaeda jihadis with ties to al Qaeda in Islamic Maghreb as two terrorists tried to kidnap an American man in the capital of Mauritania and when that attempt began to fail, they shot him in the head, killing him. Mauritania is in NW Africa near Algeria and borders the Atlantic Ocean. Here's some of the story from Breitbart:
So now we have a dead American, another victim of radical islam's terror and yet the Left in America celebrates the departure of George W. Bush and his "war on terror." So, if we have decided to give up on the war on terror or perhaps have decided to turn a cheek to it, at what point does the American government have a duty to tell all U.S. citizens that they are not safe around the world?
I've said it many times before - two main expansion areas for the islamists in this world are Russia and the surrounding republics and in northern Africa. It's my feeling that the islamists feel they have enough force in place in Europe and most of Asia to finalize the World Caliphate - the areas that the islamists need to control now include Africa, Russia and the northern regions of Asia, South America and North America, and Australia.
Gunmen shot and killed an American man Tuesday as he left his car in the capital of the West African nation of Mauritania, police and witnesses said.
Two men had initially tried to kidnap the man, but he resisted and they shot him when they realized they could not overpower him, a police officer said. The office did not give his name because he was not authorized to speak to the press.
Witness Bilal Ould Mohamed and other neighbors said the man was a U.S. professor teaching at a center specializing in computer science in El Kasr, a lower-class neighborhood in Nouakchott.
Extremist violence in Mauritania, a moderate Muslim nation, has increased. In 2007, a group of French picnickers was killed. The gunmen were believed to be linked to al-Qaida's north Africa branch

Police: US man shot dead in West African capital
NOUAKCHOTT, Mauritania (AP) - Gunmen shot and killed an American man Tuesday as he left his car in the capital of the West African nation of Mauritania, police and witnesses said.
Two men had initially tried to kidnap the man, but he resisted and they shot him when they realized they could not overpower him, a police officer said. The office did not give his name because he was not authorized to speak to the press.
Witness Bilal Ould Mohamed and other neighbors said the man was a U.S. professor teaching at a center specializing in computer science in El Kasr, a lower-class neighborhood in Nouakchott.
Mohamed, a butcher, said he saw at least two young men rush up to the middle-aged man and shoot him several times in the head and face. Mohamed said he tried to stop them, but they pointed their gun at him before running off.
An AP correspondent at the scene saw officials from the U.S. Embassy arrive as the body lay on the pavement. The embassy in Nouakchott could not immediately be reached for comment.
Extremist violence in Mauritania, a moderate Muslim nation, has increased. In 2007, a group of French picnickers was killed. The gunmen were believed to be linked to al-Qaida's north Africa branch and the incident prompted organizers of the famous Dakar Rally to cancel the trans-Sahara car race

Well! This isn't getting any coverage in the msm.
Not that I'm surprised, you understand.
