Mozambique : 10 Die In Shootout Involving Renamo Leader

Ten members of a convoy carrying Mozambique's opposition leader Afonso Dhlakama have been killed in a shootout. The police made this known amid conflicting reports on how the gunfight erupted.
They said armed men in the 12-vehicle convoy had opened fire on a minibus taxi carrying civilians while travelling near Imchope in central Mozambique, killing the driver, while Renamo claimed that the convoy had been ambushed. The minibus driver was killed and three passengers injured but the other occupants escaped unhurt including Dhlakama. This is the second time in two weeks that a convoy carrying Dhlakama, a former rebel leader still at odds with the government, had been involved in a shooting.
