#1 Reuters quotes the Information Minister Allen as blaming the violence on Taylor's party trying to disrupt the disarmament program. I'm not sure I believe that: I'd think Taylor's connections with the Wahabbi/AlQ sorts were strictly financial--he's that sort of man. And I thought AlQ was trying to keep a low profile for the diamond deals.

I think this is a different group making mischief; maybe Vai or Mandingo--maybe some of Kromah's old group. This hasn't been on my radar screen, but that's not surprising, given the sampling bias in reporting.
