Dozens killed in Congo's east - UN citing sources

KINSHASA, May 13 (Reuters) - Dozens of people were killed in attacks in eastern Congo over the weekend, a United Nations aid agency and a U.N.-backed radio said on Wednesday, citing local sources who blamed Rwandan Hutu rebels for the deaths.

The U.N.'s Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) said in a statement local sources told its staff that at least 90 people, 60 of whom were civilians, had died in an attack on May 9 near Hombo, in North Kivu province.

Citing several local sources and a member of parliament, Radio Okapi, a U.N.-backed radio in Congo, said the rebels, known as the FDLR, had killed at least 62 people, wounded many others and burned houses in the violence near Busurungi. (Reporting by David Lewis; Editing by Mark John)
