HRW: UN Mission Abets Congo Killings
------------------------------------



The United Nations peacekeeping mission in the Democratic Republic of
Congo is being accused of complicity in the killings of hundreds of
innocent civilians. In a new report, Human Rights Watch says the UN
mission has abetted the killings of at least 1,400 civilians and a
number of rapes. The report calls on the UN to immediately suspend its
collaboration with the Congolese army.
