MAPUTO: Ten people including children were beheaded in a village in northern Mozambique in a weekend attack blamed on suspected Islamists, local sources said on Tuesday.
The attack occurred in Monjane village.
Since October , the country has seen a number of attacks by suspected radical Islamists.
One of the victims of the weekend attack was the leader of Monjane village, a local resident said, without giving his name for fear of reprisals.
The group locally known as Al-Shabaab has no connections with a Somalian based organisation that uses the same name.
