Burundi rebels massacre 15
Bujumbura - As many as 15 civilians were massacred in an attack south of Burundi's capital Bujumbura by the Hutu rebel National Liberation Forces (FNL), the army and residents said on Thursday.

The attack occurred in the early hours of Wednesday in the town of Mukike some 40km south of the capital in the area where the FNL has been most active.

"The FNL infiltrated an enclosure on Rurambira hill and massacred a man, two woman and three children with small hoes," army spokesperson Adolphe Manirakiza said.
