Armed men held in E Guinea 'destabilisation attempt'
Cameroonian police have arrested a group of nearly 40 heavily armed men who were headed into neighbouring Equitorial Guinea, a military source said Friday.
Equitorial Guinea's Ambassador to France, Miguel Oyono Ndong Mifumu, referred to the incident as an "invasion and destabilisation attempt", according to his office.
The 38 suspects, who were taken into custody Wednesday in a bus on Cameroon's border with the tiny nation to its south, had rocket launchers, rifles and lots of ammunition, his office added.
Military and local police have launched a probe into the intentions of the men, who were nationals of Chad, Central African Republic, Cameroon and Equatorial Guinea.
