FRENCH TOURISTS FLOWN HOME

A FRENCH couple wounded in an ambush by suspected Unita rebels in northeastern Namibia in which their three children were murdered, arrived back in Paris late on Sunday aboard a private medical flight. Claude and Brigitte Bidoin, wounded in last Monday’s attack, flew in from Windhoek and were whisked to hospital. The bodies of their three children, Cecile aged 10, Aurelie 15 and Michel 18, were repatriated aboard a Lufthansa flight on Saturday. Unita has denied involvement in the attack.
