Elections head threatened - Mozambique
The head of Mozambique's state-run election body has said he and his staff have been receiving death threats ahead of local elections due in November.

"My colleagues and I have been receiving death threats in connection with organisation of the elections," Antonio Carrasco, director of the Technical Secretariat for Electoral Administration (STAE), told a news conference late on Wednesday.

But the elections director said he would not be intimidated, asserting: "If I die, democracy in this country will not also die, it will continue."
