The actress was on one of her many humanitarian trips to Africa helping to resettle homeless women at a refugee camp when their truck was stopped by rifle-toting locals. "It was just me and this other woman and then we had to go across a checkpoint, which was a bunch of kids with guns," Jolie told British magazine OK!

"I ended up bizarrely sitting on the bread we had and my passport, not knowing, but just trying to protect the only thing I thought mattered."Jolie said she had heard horror stories of crazed rebel fighters hacking the limbs off their enemies, and for a brief moment she was petrified she was about to suffer a similar fate.
"It was around the time when everybody was cutting the arms off everybody and the war was still on ..."She added: "(I realised) this person is probably coked up and with a gun, there's no reason he's not going to pull me out of this truck right now, and I was very scared."
