Suspected Islamists behead 10 in Mozambique: local sources
MAPUTO, May 29, 2018 (BSS/AFP) – Ten people including children were
beheaded in a village in northern Mozambique in a weekend attack blamed on
suspected Islamists, local sources said on Tuesday.
The attack occurred in Monjane, a village not far from Palma, a small town
gearing up to be the country’s new natural gas hub.
“We were informed about this tragedy,” Palma’s administrator David
Machimbuko told AFP, with the information also confirmed by a local religious
leader, who blamed Islamists.
