ambush

Just over a week later, however, a convoy of Africa Corps and Malian fighters drove into an ambush in the country’s Saharan north.

Last week, a convoy of President Noboa was also ambushed by protesters.

Carolina Jaramillo said the convoy - which included UN and EU diplomats - was delivering aid to affected communities during a national strike when ambushed by about 350 people, who attacked it with Molotov cocktails.

Steven Lyons and an associate, Robert Pickett, were injured in the ambush, which was later described in court as "like a scene out of The Godfather".

He was alone when he ambushed Morin, according to the complaint, and then pulled out his gun.
