ANGOLAN authorities have arrested two separatists in Angola's restive Cabinda region following a shooting attack on the Togolese national football team that killed three people, a prosecutor announced yesterday.
According to a statement from Antonio Nito, the prosecutor in charge of Cabinda province, two unidentified members of the Front for the Liberation of the Enclave of Cabinda forces, or FLEC, were captured on Sunday.
A FLEC leader reportedly in exile in France said yesterday his group had been targeting Angolan troops escorting the Togolese team.
"In war, anything can happen, this is only the beginning," Rodrigues Mingas, who calls himself the group's leader, told France-Info radio.
The Togolese team was driving to Angola to take part in the African Cup of Nations tournament when gunmen opened fire on the bus.
