Soweto residents ‘in shock’ by bar shootings
South Africa police say gunmen entered the tavern and started firing randomly, killing at least 15 people.
There is growing pressure on the authorities in South Africa to find those responsible for the killing of several people in a bar in Soweto over the weekend. Residents say the police are ill-equipped to deal with the levels of crime in the community.
Israel says it will investigate reports of a mass grave containing the bodies of Egyptian commandos killed during the 1967 war.
