VOA News is reporting that 50 rebel militants from the National Liberation Forces have been killed during clashes with government soldiers. 

Burundi's military says it killed 50 members of a rebel group in clashes outside the capital Bujumbura on Wednesday night. As Derek Kilner reports from VOA's East Africa bureau in Nairobi, rebel leaders say they still plan to go to Bujumbura next week for peace negotiations with the government.
