In the first such attack in over a decade in Mozambique, a truck which was carrying fuel to Maputo, and an Intercape bus on its way from Maputo to Beira are attacked by men in Renamo uniforms with AK47s, in Sofala, Mozambique, killing 2 civilians in the truck. "They attacked 2 vehicles - a bus and a truck... there were two deaths in the truck and two civilian women injured in the bus. Two women were injured on the bus. They are in hospital in Muxungwe. We don't know why they are stopping civilian vehicles. The population are fleeing their homes and fields. The whole district is living in fear" said a town administrator, Arnaldo Machohe. Ossufo Momad, of Renamo said that "Renamo distances itself from this attack. During the civil war we had identical situations where Frelimo used our uniforms and blamed us for attacks on civilians. After 20 years of peace why would we want to do this?" |
