Togo lodge appeal against suspension

A committee representing the Togo Football Federation has lodged an appeal with the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) against the banning of its football team from the African Cup of Nations.



Togo\'s Interim Caretaker Committee, a temporary body set up by world football\'s governing body FIFA, to run the Togo Football Federation, made its appeal to the Lausanne-based court today.



Togo were suspended from the next two African Cup of Nations tournaments by the African Football Confederation after the country pulled out of last month\'s event in Angola following a fatal attack on its team bus.



Two members of the Togo party and a driver were killed when the bus was fired upon in the northern Angolan region of Cabinda.
