Two bodyguard of Lesotho's Prime Minister Tom Thabane were gun-wounded and an innocent citizen killed in a crossfire on Sunday, according to local media report on Monday.
The two men tasked with protecting Thabane were shot without the prime minister in sight at the time. It was believed that the two former soldiers were shot because they betrayed their own men in the planned August 2014 coup.
They were believed to have helped Thabane dodged the coup when Lesotho military force attacked the prime minister's residence.
Lesotho will hold a national election on February 28. Endi
