Congo boat catches fire, capsizes; 200 feared dead

A survivor of a boat capsize in central Congo says at least 200 people are feared dead after the engine caught fire and led the vessel to overturn.

 

Survivor Fabrice Muamba says the boat capsized into the Kasai River late Saturday. He says the boat was also carrying many drums full of fuel through Kasai Occidental Province. He says he thinks 15 people were able to swim to safety. (AP)
