10 dead in massacre in eastern DR Congo

Ten people were killed overnight Sunday in eastern DR Congo, where massacres of civilians by a rebel group have sparked protests against UN peacekeepers, local officials said. Ten civilians were killed in the village of Kamango, a day after 22 were murdered in Ntombi, Donat Kibuana, administrator for the territory of Beni, told AFP yesterday.  “The 22 who were killed in Ntombi had not even been buried when other civilians were killed, in Kamango,” he said. “Ten bodies have been brought to the morgue so far.”
