More than 40 civilians were killed in a militia attack on a camp for displaced people in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo's Ituri province, a local official and the head of a civil society group said.
They said early on Monday that the CODECO group, one of many militias operating in Congo's conflict-ridden east, was responsible for the killings at the Lala camp. "The whole village is in mourning now, it's too sad," he said, adding that the authorities were still looking for bodies. A civil rights group head, Charite Banza, also put the toll at 46 dead, adding that the victims' bodies would be buried in a mass grave.
