| Ooookay, so much for that AU "No more coups in Africa" thing from a coupla weeks ago. Congrats to everyone who bet the "under"... DAKAR, Senegal -- Renegade soldiers in armored vehicles stormed Niger's presidential palace with a hail of gunfire during broad daylight Thursday in an apparent coup attempt in the uranium-rich West African nation. Hey, the AU sez ya can't do that! Shaddup! Can't ya see we're "renegades"! Military music played on state radio later in the evening -- the same music that aired after two previous coups in the late 1990s -- |
