LISBON - The armed wing of the Front for the Liberation of the Enclave of Cabinda (FLEC) claimed responsibility on Friday for a deadly machine-gun attack on the Togolese football team bus, Portugal's Lusa news agency reported.

"On Friday at 3:00 p.m., January 8, 2010, the FLEC/PM resistance carried out an attack in the Massabi sector against Angolan armed forces escorting Togo's national selection," it said in a communique, Lusa reported.

The attack left "one dead and three seriously wounded," added the communique, signed by the group's secretary general Rodrigues Mingas.

It added: "This operation is only the start of a series of targeted actions that will continue in all the territory of Cabinda."
