JOHANNESBURG (Reuters) - Police are hunting for five attackers who burst into a bar in Soweto, South Africa, and killed 15 customers in a hail of at least 137 bullets over the weekend, the police minister said on Monday.

Nine other people were wounded in the shooting in the early hours of Sunday morning that shocked a nation with one of the world's highest murder rates.
