Abidjan - Rebels fighting in Sierra Leone said yesterday their forces played no part in a massacre of civilians in a small town east of the capital Freetown last week. Mr Omrie Golley, spokesman for the rebel Revolutionary United Front, said: "We did not do it."
Survivors and a spokesman for a West African intervention force said fleeing rebels shot, hacked or burned to death scores of civilians in Songo, 26 miles (40 km) from Freetown.
