Burundi: Army says killed 50 rebels in clashes

Burundi's army said on Thursday it had killed 50 fighters from the country's last active rebel group in renewed clashes outside the capital Bujumbura. The attack came barely a day after leaders of the Forces for National Liberation (FNL), an ethnic Hutu guerrilla group, said they would drop an amnesty demand and return to the tiny coffee-growing country to implement a long awaited peace deal.
