BUJUMBURA -- A presidential adviser in Burundi was wounded in an assassination attempt late Monday, officials said, in the latest attack targeting allies of the country's embattled president.
Willy Nyamitwe, a presidential adviser in charge of communications, was at his home northwest of the capital, Bujumbura, when armed men attacked him, Bonfort Ndoreraho, chief of police in the capital Bujumbura, said Tuesday.
Ndoreraho said one policeman in Nyamitwe's security detail was killed and another was wounded, while Nyamitwe himself was wounded in the hand.
