More attacks in Casamance

    ABIDJAN
    There have been reports of more clashes between government troops and separatist rebels in Casmance, southern Senegal, the BBC reported on Thursday. The Senegalese army said that earlier in the week, rebels from the Mouvement des forces democratiques du Casamance (MFDC) had used heavy artillery to attack a military post some 60 km southwest of Ziguinchor, the main town in the area. It said several civilians had been killed, including two Gambian businessmen, according to the BBC.
