Soldiers shoot dead at least seven miners in Ghana

Accra (Ghana), Jan 21 (UNI) At least seven people have been killed in a clash with soldiers on duty at a mine in the central Ashanti region, according to the army, media reports said.
The Ghana Armed Forces said about 60 illegal miners, armed with among other things "pump action guns", had forced their way into the mine run by global giant AngloGold Ashanti and fired at the soldiers when they were intercepted, the BBC reported.
This prompted the soldiers "to retaliate in self-defence", leading to the deaths and injuries, it said in a statement.
