None

LUANDA- Separatist rebels said they killed 12 soldiers in Angola, part of a flare-up of violence in a region that produces half the southern African state's oil.

 

The Front for the Liberation of the Enclave of Cabinda (FLEC) said it ambushed the troops in the northern Buco-Zau region, near the border with the Republic of Congo on Sunday.

 

The rebels have now reported more than 50 deaths since fighting broke out in August. The government has not responded to requests for comment.
