Sky News is the first international broadcaster to reach the centre of the Mozambican town of Palma since it was ransacked by extremist militants linked to the Islamic State

The streets were littered with spent bullet cartridges.Thousands fled the fighters and hundreds are still hiding in the surrounding bush.

He refused to be drawn on whether this attack and others were orchestrated by Islamic extremists linked to ISIS, despite the terror network claiming it had carried it out.Videos posted on the terror network's social media outlets claim to show what looks like dozens of fighters gathering immediately after the Palma attack.The Cabo Delgado region is predominantly Muslim and it is not known for any religious disunity.

There's very little known about this shadowy group which claims it is affiliated with the Islamic State but doesn't appear to have any ideology, stated aim or recognised leader.The fighters were described by Palma's residents as a mix of nationalities and were heard talking in several languages including Swahili, one of two national languages in neighbouring Tanzania.

It was going to be the first time since January that work would begin after being suspended at the start of the year due to security concerns over earlier insurgency attacks. The decision means tens of thousands of people reliant on aid and who are now living rough, having fled the Palma attack, have been struggling without proper food or water for nearly two weeks now.

Many sources told us they believe the town was infiltrated by insurgents before the act and have since blended in with those fleeing the area.
