The Burundi army on Thursday said it had foiled an attack on Munini, in Bururi province in the southwest, AFP reported. “The assailants burned three houses and two vehicles,” AFP quoted Burundi army spokesman Colonel Longin Minani as saying. He said the army was in pursuit of the rebels. Burundi radio had earlier quoted Bururi’s governor, Andre Ndayizamba, as saying that a small number of villagers had been displaced by the attack. He had indicated that security forces got a tip-off of the attack from neighbouring Rutana province.
