Eight suspected rebel collaborators arrested

    BANGUI
    Police in Monrovia are investigating eight people suspected of collaborating with the rebels in Sierra Leone, Star Radio reported today (Thursday). They were arrested at the premises of Red Deer International and include the company’s British general manager, an Australian, a Lebanese and five Liberians. The radio cited the director of police as saying military uniforms and letterheads with the logo “Combined RUF and Junta forces” were recovered. The rebel Revolutionary United Front (RUF) is fighting alongside the ousted military junta that seized power from Sierra Leonean President Alhaji Ahmad Tejan Kabbah in 1997.
