Burundi President Returns, Arrests Alleged Coup Leaders 
--------------------------------------------------------


 
In Burundi, President Pierre Nkurunziza has returned from a trip to
Tanzania and says his authorities have arrested three leaders of an
attempted coup. An army general had claimed to have ousted the president
after more than two weeks of deadly protests over his bid for a third
term. But President Nkurunziza now appears to be back in control of the
country.
