Six killed in attack on elite military barracks
GENEVA, SWITZERLAND – Six soldiers died when their military barracks were attacked near the airport in the capital, late Sunday 21 October. The transitional military government has pointed the finger at forces loyal to former Prime Minister Carlos Gomes Jr and the former interim president Raimundo Pereira, who fled to Portugal in April after being accused of a secret agreement with Angolan troops to let them into the country.
Portugal has also come under fire from the African nation, for harbouring the former officials and for supporting the attack.
