Mozambique Attacks Sees Beheading Of Three Indigenes

As the spate of insurgency and Islamist violence rises in northern Mozambique, at least three people have been beheaded in a new outbreak, the police reported on Wednesday.

“Last Friday, terrorists invaded some farms in the first village in Macomia district and beheaded three citizens and kidnapped some women,” provincial police chief Vicente Chicote told AFP.

“After that, they went to another farm where they beheaded more people,” he added.

On Sunday, the insurgents attacked the village of Chicomo, where a gunbattle broke out with military forces there, Chicote said.
