At least 16 civilians were hacked to death in the Democratic Republic of Congo last night (Tuesday).
A local administrator told AFP that "the enemy managed to get past army positions and kill peaceful residents in their homes, slashing their throats. The 16 bodies are in front of me, killed by machete or axe."
It is suspected that the killers were part of the Allied Democratic Forces, a Ugandan rebel group, though there is no confirmation.
