Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>\u201cIt is not related to that [the insurgency] \u2013 they are common criminals,\u201d Mate said when asked if was any sign linking the event, which caused one death, to violence originating in the neighbouring province of Cabo Delgado.<\/p>\n

After the attack, the two hooded men stole what goods they could from the vehicle and left it abandoned on the road, he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have expanded the perimeter and the search (to find the perpetrators and the weapons used \u2013 an AK47 machine gun and a machete) continues,\u201d Mate added.<\/p>\n

Barricade on public road<\/b><\/p>\n

The attackers \u201cbarricaded the road, but the driver, as he approached, noticed the pair\u2019s strange behaviour. He slowed down and tried to turn around,\u201d Mate continued. \u201cBut the bandits opened fire, hitting the driver, who lost his life on the spot.\u201d<\/p>\n

The 17 passengers travelling in the minibus \u201copened the door and fled into the woods\u201d, he said.<\/p>\n

Two passengers were injured. One, a woman, was shot in the leg, and a man suffered a machete blow to the head. Both were hospitalised and are now out of danger.<\/p>\n

The vehicle, which had left Marrupa for Ancuabe, in Cabo Delgado, was attacked near Muoco, a village in M\u00e1ua district.<\/p>\n
