"Players injured" after shots fired on Togo team bus
The Togo national team bus has been machine-gunned by Angolan rebels on the Congolese border ahead of the African Cup of Nations, it has been reported in L'Equipe.
The Sparrow Hawks are in the country ahead of the African Nations Cup, which gets under way on Sunday.
Two Togo players and the bus driver are reported to have been injured. "I am fine but several players are in a bad way," Nantes striker Thomas Dossevi told Radio Monte Carlo.
"We are still at hospital. We were attacked like dogs and had to hide for 20 minutes under the seats to avoid the bullets."
Togo were due to get their Cup of Nations campaign underway against Ghana on January 11. Dossevi is also said that the team no longer wanted to play at the tournament.
***Hearing one person may have died.
