Maputo — Some of the terrorists who attacked and briefly occupied the town of Macomia, in the northern Mozambican province of Cabo Delgado on 28 May, fell into an ambush mounted by the defence and security forces at the Nova Zambezia village last Friday, according to a report in the independent newssheet "Mediafax".
After the ambush the Nova Zambezia villagers helped themselves to the loot abandoned by the terrorists.
But the following night, a group of terrorists returned to Nova Zambezia and, perhaps in revenge, murdered several of the villagers.
The 28 May attack on Macomia town, coincided with raids on nearby villages and on the administrative post of Chai.
The terrorists also burnt down several houses, and the Chai health centre.
