Eleven bodies found at Cape Verde barracks

As the law enforcement continue their crack down on perps

Police in the Cape Verde islands off northwest Africa say they
have found the bodies of 11 people, including eight soldiers,
at a military barracks.
The authorities say they believe a disgruntled missing soldier
was behind the killings.
A government statement said the deaths were not an
attempted coup or connected to the drugs trade.
The victims included eight soldiers and three civilians, two of
them Spanish nationals.
The Spaniards were working on repairs at a hilltop
communications hub protected by soldiers at the barracks.
A police officer found the bodies at about midday local time
(01:00 GMT) at the Monte Tchota barracks north of the capital
Praia on the biggest island, Santiago, Cape Verde Television
said.
It said police later found an abandoned car containing eight
Kalashnikovs and ammunition.
The former Portuguese colony, an archipelago about 600km
(370 miles) of the coast of Senegal with a population of
500,000 people, has been praised by international
organisations for its commitment to democracy and
development.
However, it has also been targeted by international drug rings
as a destination for smuggling cocaine.
Last week police seized 280kg of cocaine from a yacht and
officials have linked two recent attacks on public figures to the
drugs trade.
A new government took office last Friday following an election
in March and has promised a zero tolerance approach to
crime.
