JOHANNESBURG, South Africa — Police arrested three white men today and seized a cache of automatic weapons in connection with a recent attack on a bus in which six blacks were killed and 27 wounded.
The three men are believed to be linked to extreme right-wing white groups opposed to government plans to end apartheid, according to local journalists.
Police said the men were arrested in a raid in Durban and AK-47 assault rifles and other weapons were seized.
A bus used by blacks was attacked with automatic gunfire near Durban on Oct. 9. Everyone on board was either killed or wounded.
