January 12, 2010 - Togo's shaken footballers prepare to go home after machine-gun ambush. Team withdraw from Africa Cup of Nations, but organisers insist that the tournament will still go ahead.

Togo's traumatised footballers have pulled out of the Africa Cup of Nations after the death toll from a machine-gun ambush on their team bus rose to three.

But organisers in Angola dismissed calls for the tournament to be abandoned because of security concerns and said the opening ceremony and first match would go ahead tomorrow as planned.
