At least 12 killed in eastern Congo by suspected Ugandan rebels | Top News | Reuters: "KINSHASA (Reuters) - Suspected Ugandan rebels used machetes to kill at least 12 civilians on Monday in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, authorities and a local human rights group said, the latest in a series of targeted attacks over the last 18 months.
Rebels from the Allied Democratic Forces (ADF), an Islamist group originally from Uganda that has operated in the border region since the 1990s, carried out the killings in the village of Mamabio, 50 km (30 miles) north of the commercial centre of Beni, said territorial administrator Amisi Kalonda.
"The bodies were found lying in different places. (The rebels) also ransacked the health centre," said Kalonda, who said 13 people were killed."
