Jihadists kill 12 in Mozambique

Mozambique police said 12 persons have been killed in suspected attack by Jihadists in the country, two months after a similar attack claimed same death toll.

In the September attack, 12 persons were killed and 14 injured in an attack by jihadists on a village in a gas-rich region of northern Mozambique.

Since 2017 October, Mozambique’s golden vision to exploit its gas reserves has been thrown into doubt by an explosion of bloodthirsty assaults in the region where the industry plans to base its hub.

“Ten people killed were shot by firearms and two burnt (to death) after 55 houses were charred. A person was beheaded after being shot dead” in the northern village of Paqueue, the police claimed then.
