Army probes role in rebel attack

    NAIROBI
    The army on Thursday launched an investigation into the possibility of collusion between army units and Ninja rebels in a series of attacks between 9 and 12 May on Bolobo military training camp, 15 miles north of Brazzaville, in which 130 people - including some 100 children - were reportedly killed. Military spokesman Colonel Jean Robert Obargui told AP news agency that rebels had killed at least seven people in three subsequent attacks on rural villages since last week.
