"One of the most horrific incidents to hit African football"
Six years ago, the bus carrying the Togo national football team was ambushed on its way to the Africa Cup of Nations in Angola. Three people died when separatist militants fighting for the independence of the Angolan province of Cabinda launched the attack. Another seven members of the party were seriously injured, including the goalkeeper Kodjovi Obilale. His career was ended, and he spent months in hospital. Now he's rebuilding his life in Brittany, northern France. Our reporter Chris Dennis went to meet him.
