The Mozambican National Resistance, an opposition group that fought a civil war against the government, threatened to disrupt the Sena rail line in the center of the country used to haul coal from mines owned by Rio Tinto Group and Vale SA.
The group, known as Renamo, said the threat to start disrupting rail and road traffic in the region from tomorrow is a response to government troop movements after an arms depot was attacked in the Savane area near the port of Beira earlier this week and at least six soldiers killed. Renamo denied responsibility for the attack.
