UNITA CLAIMS SUCCESSES

ANGOLAS Unita rebels say they killed 115 Angolan troops and 12 Namibian soldiers in operations conducted across the country in the past month. Unita said its forces had attacked a military garrison manned by Angolan and Namibian troops in the southern city of Kuangar, forcing those stationed at the base to flee to the neighbouring Namibian town of Nkurenkuren. The rebels also said they overran the eastern border post of Njimbi. – AFP
