Burundi army chief Gen Niyongabo survives assassination bid
Burundi's army chief of staff has survived an assassination attempt on a busy road in the capital, Bujumbura.
General Prime Niyongabo was heading to his office in the morning when armed men attacked his motorcade.
Burundi's deputy police chief Gen Godefroid Bizimana told the AFP news agency the army chief was unharmed.
Burundi has suffered serious unrest since April, when President Pierre Nkurunziza said he would seek a third term in elections he later won.
In May he survived a coup attempt.
A senior army general and close aide to the president, Adolphe Nshimirimana, was killed last month in similar circumstances.
Earlier this week the spokesman for a party opposed to President Nkurunziza's third term was shot dead in Bujumbura.
The opposition has blamed such targeted killings on government agents, or "pro-government paramilitary youths". The authorities deny any involvement.
