The bomb, which was set to donate during the lunch hour, was defused by police. Two of the accused were arrested some distance from the scene while the others were apprehended during follow up operations. Some 190 bombs have exploded in and around Cape Town since 1996. The pair, Mariette and Estevan Olyn, were taken from their home last Friday by a man their mother apparently knew. Their bodies were found in a deserted house outside Karos.
Police suspect the killer used a panga to murder the children.
Police could not say why the mother only reported the incident on Monday - three days after the children were kidnapped. Jammeh, who was born into a Catholic family and converted to Islam in the mid-80s, promised however to guarantee that religious freedom would be respected. THE UN Security Council has urged Rwanda and Uganda to halt military offensives in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and to withdraw their forces from that country. But it stopped well short of reacting to a call from the government of DRC to slap an arms embargo and other sanctions on Rwanda and Uganda, which back rival rebel groups opposed to President Laurent Kabila. The three-island republic between Madagascar and east Africa was plunged into crisis when Anjouan island unilaterally declared its independence in August 1997.
