About 45 civilians were massacred in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, and Congolese troops sent to the area killed four of the Rwandan rebels thought to have been responsible, the Congolese Army said Thursday. The killings of the civilians took place on Monday and Tuesday in remote villages in the territory of Shabunda, in South Kivu Province, an area still troubled by armed groups more than eight years after the end of a war there. An army spokesman said the 45 victims were mainly women and children, including one pregnant woman, and a leader of a village was decapitated.
