Burundi explodes into violence

The charred bodies of women and children lay heaped inside a dozen torched huts in the Gatumba refugee camp in Burundi on Saturday, where nearly 159 people were killed in an overnight attack. The victims were shot, hacked to death with machetes or burnt inside their homes, during a raid on the camp near the capital Bujumbura.
