UNIDENTIFIED gunmen opened fire with automatic weapons on a Belgian passenger aircraft landing in Burundi’s capital on Monday, hitting it several times and wounding two people. The plane, a Sabena airlines Airbus A-3300 arriving from Brussels, was targeted at an altitude of 200m as it was about to touch down, passengers said. The aircraft was able to land safely and rolled to a stop in the middle of the runway, where it stayed for several hours after the incident. – AFP
