The Angola authorities have been extremely quick to arrest two people allegedly involved in this horrific attack,I shall be interested to hear the evidence against them when and if they come to trial,also some blame must be apportioned to others in this matter as the BBC report points out:
"Africa Nations Cup official Virgilio Santos said all teams had been told explicitly not to travel to the tournament by road.
Richard Dowden, director of the Royal African Society, told the BBC's Today programme it was "absolutely astounding" that the Togolese football team were allowed to travel to Cabinda overland.
He said officials mount huge security operations when they visit the province - and generally fly there in planes or helicopters"


"Simple is good" & I strongly dislike politics. You cannot defend the indefensible.
