Interahamwe kill four, rebels charge

    NAIROBI

    ‘Interahamwe’ militiamen reportedly attacked a convoy of 10 vehicles on the Goma-Rutshuru road on Wednesday last, killing four people and burning four vehicles, rebel-held ‘Radio Goma’, monitored in Rwanda, announced on Friday.

    “Those ‘Interahamwe’, who say they are fighting Tutsis of the region, are rather sowing death and desolation among innocent civilians from all tribes without any distinction,” ‘Radio Goma’ commented.

    More than 50,000 Hutu militia and former Rwandan government soldiers are said to be based in the forests and bush north of the rebel stronghold of Goma.
