DRC: 400 civilians massacred, claim DRC rebels

Rwandan-backed rebels in the Democratic Republic of Congo(DRC) have accused a rival group allied to the Kinshasa regime of massacring nearly 400 civilians last week in the northeastern Ituri region. "The Congolese Rally for Democracy (RCD) denounces the widespread massacring of the civil population near Bunia by the RCD-ML led by Mbusa Nyamwisi and allied to the forces of the Kinshasa government," the rebels said in a statement in Kigali.
