VIENTIANE, Laos (AP) - Des tireurs non identifiés ont attaqué des voitures circulant sur une route du nord du Laos, tôt jeudi, tuant au moins dix personnes, dont deux ressortissants étrangers, a annoncé un responsable des Nations unies.

(...)

Parmi les victimes, figuraient ces deux ressortissants étrangers qui circulaient à bicyclette alors que les assaillants ont ouvert le feu sur un autobus public, deux voitures, deux motos et un tracteur près de Vang Vieng, un village situé à 170 au nord de Vientiane.

"A senior government official in the Laotian capital, Vientiane, told Reuters seven Laotians on the bus were killed, along with a Chinese person and two foreign cyclists, one male and one female.

Laos has been ruled by a communist government since 1975 and there have been sporadic attacks on state buildings and spots popular with foreigners by unidentified anti-government groups over the years.

Diplomats said the two foreign cyclists were believed to be French-speaking, and may have been tourists or aid workers.

A French diplomat in the Laotian capital told Reuters his embassy had sent a consul to investigate the attack.

``It is too early to say they were French,'' the diplomat said. ``People at the incident thought they had spoken French, but we can't confirm or deny it now.''
