No attack in the south, government says

    ABIDJAN

    A senior Chadian official denied on Thursday media reports of a rebel attack near the southeastern town of Gore.

    On Wednesday, AFP had cited a local newspaper, ‘Le Progres’, as reporting that armed elements of a guerrilla group led by Moise Kette had attacked a truck 35 km from Gore, a town in the region of Logone Orientale, killing two people and wounding six.

    However, the official, who asked not to be identified by name, said the area was peaceful following an agreement last week between the government and Kette’s Comite de sursaut national pour la paix et la democratie(CSNPD).
