Four people were killed in Buhonga commune, and a further three injured, Burundi radio reported yesterday. Provincial governor Stanislas Ntahobari said he believed the Forces nationales pour la liberation (FNL), the armed wing of the PALIPEHUTU rebel group, were responsible for the attack as they were spreading “subversive leaflets” and “threatening people who do not share their ideology”.
