MPs want anti-terror law

Swaziland's members of parliament are pressuring the country's prime minister, Sibusiso Dlamini to introduce an anti-terrorism bill, media reports said. The MPs are reportedly concerned at the lack of such a law in view of at least four bombings in the country in the last two years. The latest bomb attack was last November in a government office about three km away from some of King Mswati III's offices. Exactly a year before another bomb destroyed the deputy prime minister's office in the capital, Mbabane, killing a security guard. In 1998 a bomb damaged a bridge in the industrial centre of Matsapha while another explosion happened next to the army headquarters also in Matsapha. No one has claimed responsibility for these explosions in the tiny kingdom where political parties are outlawed.
