Gunshots were heard in Maseru and government/police buildings have been occupied by military units in what is believed to be a coup d'etat. The headquarters of the police was occupied, as well as other major police stations, and the premier's residence surrounded and attacked. Private radio stations have been taken off the air and phone lines cut. 1 police officer was killed and at least nine others seriously injured as the army disarmed police. Police officers have abandoned police stations allegedly for fear of being killed. It is believed a crime probe targetting the Deputy PM and influential army members motivated the attacks. |
