A LANDMINE blast has killed a farm worker and injured 47 others, 10 critically, in north-eastern Namibia on the border with Angola, The Namibian newspaper has reported. The explosion occurred on a cotton farm near Omega when a truck carrying farm workers detonated an anti-tank mine planted in the middle of the road by suspected Angolan Unita rebels. More than 50 people have died in attacks in the area blamed on Unita since President Sam Nujoma’s government allowed Angolan government forces to launch attacks against the rebels from Namibia late last year. Unita has retaliated by allegedly planting landmines and raiding villages along the border. – Reuters
