Security Council decries killing of 2 UN experts
None
BENI -- The UN Security Council is condemning the killing of two of its experts in Congo "in the strongest terms." It also has expressed concern at "the unknown status of the four Congolese nationals accompanying them" when the experts disappeared more than two weeks ago.
Council members issued a statement Wednesday night calling on the Congolese government "to swiftly and fully investigate these crimes and bring the still unidentified perpetrators to justice." It also supports holding a UN inquiry.
The statement stresses that attacks targeting civilians "may constitute war crimes under international law."
