Tanzania's Tundu Lissu recovering after gun attack
[Al Jazeera] Tanzanian opposition politician Tundu Lissu is recovering in a Kenyan hospital after being maimed in a gun attack at his residence in Tanzania's administrative capital, Dodoma, according to his party.
Abdallah Safari, the vice president of main opposition party CHADEMA, said at a news conference on Friday that Lissu was taken to the Aga Khan hospital in neighbouring Kenya's capital, Nairobi, "after a decision by his family and his party".
"His health is improving," he said.
Vincent Mashinji, CHADEMA secretary-general, said: "Those who wanted to kill him have failed."
The motive for the shooting by unknown gunnies was unclear.
