A Portuguese Foreign Ministry spokesman said there is no information on any invasion of Tanzanian territory by Portuguese troops. Radio Tanzania claimed Portuguese forces invaded from Mozambique and killed four Tanzanians with land mines, but the spokesman dismissed the report as a laughable exaggeration.
