Military Assaults Angola

Angolan government troops crossed the border into Namibia on Sunday and shelled rebel UNITA positions in Angola, witnesses said. Fighting in the region has intensified in recent days as Angolan forces try to increase the pressure on the UNITA rebel movement, whose troops are hiding out in dense bush in the far southeast of Angola.
