    Togo bus attacked by gunmen
    French media reports say a bus carrying the Togo national football team has been attacked by gunfire in Angola ahead of the African Cup of Nations.

    Several players are reported injured.

    Togo striker Thomas Dossevi tells radio station RMC that "several players are in a bad state."

    He says the team was "shot at like dogs" by hooded gunmen who were "armed to the teeth."

    Another player, Alaixys Romao, says he believes seven people were hit by machine gunfire, including two players.

    The team traveled by bus into Angola from neighboring Congo, where they had been training.

    The 16-team tournament starts Sunday.

    Togo is due to play its opening match on Monday against Ghana.

    Ya just read that, apparently the injured are the GK and a defender. Pinny just took it offline. Some others still open. Ghana around 1.50.

            Shocking news.

            I think they might withdraw from the tournament now.

              Jeez, who would have thought that the Congo would be safer than Angola. Hope that everyone is all right.

                          Can you blame them for wanting to withdrawl? I don't know how anyone could prepare for a match Less than 48 hours after going through that. Hope everyone is ok.
