Rebels attack army posts

    NAIROBI

    Rebels attacked two military positions in Sororezo and Mugoboka, north of Bujumbura on Monday night, news organisations reported. Radio Burundi said that automatic gunfire and grenade explosions were heard from the hills surrounding Bujumbura. It said nobody was killed but one person was wounded. AFP quoted witnesses as saying that some of the rebels wore military uniforms while others were in civilian clothes. Mugoboka residents said the rebels were members of the Forces nationales de liberation (FNL), the armed wing of PALIPEHUTU.
