Congo army says kills 40 Rwandan rebels in air raids
At least 40 Rwandan Hutu rebels were killed in air raids on their camps in eastern Congo, Congo's army said on Friday, in the biggest attack so far of a three-week-old joint Congolese-Rwandan offensive.
Congo's government allowed thousands of Rwandan troops into its North Kivu province last month to take part in a joint operation aimed at disarming Rwandan Hutu militia groups that are a root cause of years of strife in central Africa. (Reuters)
