Togo football team bus attacked in Angola, 6 hurt

Gunmen in an area plagued by violence today opened fire on a bus carrying Togo\'s national football team to a tournament in southwest Africa.



An official says at least six people including two footballers were wounded.



Some of the players said they wanted to pull out of the African Cup of Nations tournament following the violence, but an official in Angola said it would go ahead as planned.



Football federation vice president Gabriel Ameyi said backup goalkeeper Obilale Kossi and central defender Serge Akakpo were among those hurt.



It was the second major gun attack on a sports team in less than a year. Several players were injured and six policemen were killed when gunmen opened fire on the Sri Lankan cricket team\'s bus in Lahore, Pakistan, in March 2009.
