from the BBC:

A bus carrying Togo's national football team to the Africa Cup of Nations has been hit by machine-gun fire, injuring two players, reports say.

The reported incident occurred as the bus was en route to Angola from the Democratic Republic of Congo.

The Africa Cup of Nations is due to start in Angola on Sunday.

Togo's first game is to be played on Monday in the oil-rich northern territory of Cabinda, where rebels have been fighting for independence.

The identities of the wounded players are not known. There are unconfirmed reports of serious injuries.

The Togolese team includes Manchester City striker Emmanuel Adebayor.

I'm quite shocked by this to be honest. Something seriously needs sorted out over there

At least everyone's alive, thats about the only positive there. Hope everyone over there is ok and the injured people have a speedy recovery

SSN saying that there's a lot of blood and that they want to pull out of the competition altogether

Jeez.. someone doesn't want Togo to win this year

Doesn't look good at all, I hope no one is seriously hurt

Man City are trying to contact Adebayor now and find out more info

2 players from the Togo squad greavesie, the backup GK and a central defender (I think he plays for Auxerre), they were both shot.

sorry correct my mistake, the defender plays for a romanian team.

He took two bullets and almost died. Thank god he is fine now.

Let's hope the f*ckers end up tripping up on their gun straps, accidentally shooting themselves in the privates and bleeding to death in slow agony.

B*stards. :no

Rest in Peace, driver.
