ZAMBIA is holding an Angolan soldier after a border clash that left three Zambians wounded last week. “Three Zambians — a soldier and two civilians — were wounded but are out of danger. We are still holding one Angolan government soldier,” a Zambian official said. The incident happened on Thursday when Angolan soldiers crossed into Zambia and were preparing to loot local villages. It came hours after President Frederick Chiluba warned Angola against attacks on Zambian villages along their common border, saying Lusaka had the capacity to fight back. Tens of thousands of Angolan refugees have fled to Zambia since fighting between Luanda troops and Unita rebels intensified in 1999. The Zambian government blames the country’s escalating crime rate on guns smuggled across the border from Angola.
