KINSHASA, Congo - Colleagues say a journalist covering military
operations in eastern Congo has been killed in an ambush.
Jacques Kikuni, head of the Muungano radio station, said 30-year-old
Germain Kennedy Muliwavyo died after being shot in the head and
stomach during Saturday's ambush 60 kilometres outside of Beni. Two
other journalists were injured but are expected to survive. Hospital
officials confirmed the death and injuries.
Kikuni said the attack was apparently carried out by the Allied
Democratic Forces rebel group, which was formed in the 1990s by
Ugandan Muslims who felt sidelined by the policies of Uganda's
president.
The rebels have been blamed for a December attack that killed at least
21 people.
Congo's government spokesman said Friday the army had killed more than
200 ADF rebels in a recent offensive.
