Women, children killed in Congo massacre

BENI, DR CONGO: At least 22 people, most of them women and children, have been hacked and clubbed to death by Ugandan rebels in the troubled east of the Democratic Republic (DR) of Congo just days after a similar massacre.

The new attack sparked calls for United Nations forces to protect the vulnerable local population, as the rebels who have terrorized North Kivu for two decades resist attempts to drive them out.
