Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>At least six people were beheaded and an Italian nun killed on Tuesday by Islamic State-linked insurgents in Mozambique\u2019s Nampula province, authorities said on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Speaking in the resort town of Xai Xai north of the capital Maputo, President Filipe Nyusi said the insurgents unleashed a killing spree as they fled from soldiers from Mozambique, Rwanda and the Southern African Development Community (SADC) sent to tackle the violence.<\/p>\n

The insurgency is concentrated in Mozambique\u2019s northern province of Cabo Delgado and has claimed thousands of lives since it broke out in 2017, disrupting multibillion-dollar natural gas projects.<\/p>\n

\u201cOn the 6th of September, as a result of terrorist attacks, six citizens were beheaded, 3 kidnapped, six terrorists were captured and dozens of houses torched in the districts of Erati and Memba, Nampula province,\u201d Nyusi said.<\/p>\n

According to media reports, confirmed by Nampula province secretary of state Mety Gondola, an 83-year-old Italian nun, who lived in the city of Nacala, was shot in an attack on Tuesday night, while two others missionaries managed to escape.<\/p>\n

Gondola gave no further details on the attack but said the situation was worrisome.<\/p>\n

The Portuguese News agency Lusa said the nun, who was shot in the head, belonged to the order of the Comboni Missionary Sisters and had been working in Mozambique since 1963.<\/p>\n
