Mozambican guerrillas killed about 50 people in an attack on the main tea-producing center in northern Mozambique, the official news agency AIM reported. The agency said the rebels destroyed much of the equipment at five tea-processing factories that had recently been rebuilt at a cost of about $30 million.
