Chad reports clashes
NZPA-Reuter Paris Chad said its forces had killed 44 Libyan troops in the second clash between the two countries in less than a week. A statement from the central African country’s Paris Embassy said three Chadian soldiers died in the clash, which breached a ceasefire agreed on September 11.
Chad said men from Libya’s Islamic Legion, made up mostly of troops from various African countries, had entered Chad from Sudan. Chad, armed by France and the United States, said the clash took place on Friday near the settlement of Amtandoussa in the Goz-Beida region, a sparsely populated area near the Sudanese border.
