LIBREVILLE: Police in Gabon arrested dozens of people on Sunday over a knife attack in the capital apparently committed in retribution for “US attacks against Muslims”, officials said. The men detained were mostly traders and sellers in the popular market in Libreville where the attack occurred on Saturday — and all are from west Africa, according to an AFP correspondent. They were taken to police headquarters were they are due to be questioned, an official said. “Operations are ongoing,” government spokesman Alain-Claude Bilie By Nze told AFP. “We are not commenting at this stage.” Two Danish nationals working for the National Geographic channel were wounded in the attack, he said.
