Rwanda Says Four Gunmen Killed in Battle With Congo-Based Rebels

Rwanda’s army said it killed four rebels who’d crossed from the Democratic Republic of Congo, in what would be the first significant incursion by the insurgent group in more than two years.

Troops repelled the Sunday night attack in Rwanda’s western Rubavu district, army spokesman Innocent Munyengango said by phone. He described the attackers as probably belonging to the Forces for the Liberation of Rwanda, some of whose leaders are linked to the country’s 1994 genocide in which about 800,000 people were killed.
