Congolese militiamen killed by French troops
French troops have killed two militiamen during an exchange of fire in the Democratic Republic of Congo. The troops are from the international force that has been deployed to secure the north-eastern town of Bunia and protect the population from inter-ethnic clashes. French military spokesmen say two gunmen were killed after they opened fire at members of a French patrol, south west of Bunia. It is the first time that the international military force has killed local militiamen since being deployed 10 days ago.
