Deadly ambush

Two UN peacekeepers from Tanzania have been killed in an ambush in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, the UN has said.

Thirteen others were wounded and four were still missing when their convoy was ambushed by suspected Ugandan rebels in the village of Kikiki, around 50km (30 miles) north of the town of Beni in North Kivu province, it added.

On Tuesday, DR Congo's army said it had killed 16 fighters from Uganda's Allied Democratic Forces (ADF) rebel group in the same area at the weekend.
