DRC: Rwandan rebels killed 100 in Congo reprisals -group

Rwandan Hutu rebels have killed over 100 civilians in eastern Congo in reprisal attacks since the start of a joint offensive against them three weeks ago, New York-based Human Rights Watch said on Friday. The attacks by the Democratic Forces for the Liberation of Rwanda (FDLR) rebels took place after Rwanda and Congo launched joint operations aimed at removing the rebel militia, which is seen as a root cause of years of strife in central Africa.
