Weah says his life is in danger

Liberia football legend George Weah said he feared for his life in his homeland on Thursday, accusing president Charles Taylor’s government of targeting him for violence. Announcing his intention to quit international football after Liberia’s campaign in the 2002 African Nations Cup, Weah said in an interview with AFP he would only return to Monrovia if there was a change of government. Weah, a former world footballer of the year said his high profile left Liberia’s rulers feeling threatened. “I have children who have still to grow up and go to school,” said Weah, a father of three. “I don’t want somebody to come and kill me because of my popularity,” the former AC Milan and Paris St Germain 35-year-old star said. “They have already burnt my house down,” Weah said. “They’ve repossessed my shops. It’s not safe.”- Ghana 0 S.Africa 0FORMER champions Ghana and South Africa continued their African Nations Cup group B drought with a goalless draw last night.South African striker Quinton Fortune missed a first half penalty.
