Freetown under siege
WEST AFRICAN intervention force soldiers pressed forward yesterday to the eastern edge of the Sierra Leone capital Freetown, capturing an important ferry terminal and vowing to vanquish the junta soon.
The Nigerian-led forces, who are fighting to return elected President Ahmed Tejan Kabbah to power, are now only three miles from the city centre.
