Turns out ALL the KILLERS are traced back to CLINTONITE GLOBALISTS and UNPROSECUTED WESTERN WAR CRIMINALS, and I suspect no different now.
"Ugandan rebels blamed for church attack
KAMPALA, Uganda - The Ugandan army accused the country's rebels of torching a Catholic church crowded with worshipers in eastern Congo, killing some of them.
Captain Ronald Kakurungo, an Army spokesman, said Ugandan troops in neighboring Congo reported the Lord's Resistance Army rebels set fire to a church Saturday night in the village of Tora. The Ugandan soldiers are part of a multinational force set up last December to stop the brutal rebel group.
Kakurungo said it was unclear how many people had been killed. The United Nations-run Radio Okapi, which broadcasts in eastern Congo, also reported the attack on the church and further attacks on civilian homes in the nearby village of Libombi.
Come Mbolingaba, the head of Catholic organization Caritas Congo, said employees had spoken to villagers who had confirmed there had been an attack but had no information on the number of casualties.
"They burned people who were praying in a church," he said. UN officials did not return calls seeking comment. Rebel spokesman David Matsanga disputed the claim, saying rebels were not in the area and have not committed atrocities. The villages are 80 miles from the town of Dungu, where the multinational force is based. Human Rights Watch said last week that the rebels have killed at least 620 people in the Congo in the past month.
Why, after reporting on the crisis so often back in November, has the MSM all but forgotten it?
The New-York based rights group collected testimonies in which survivors told how rebels attacked their homes, raped women, and murdered men with bats and axes. The rebels, who have been fighting for two decades, also have a history of abducting children to be sex slaves and fighters.

"Rwandan troops enter Congo to help fight rebel militias; Joint operation is focused on eastern areas" by Edmund Sanders, Los Angeles Times | January 21, 2009
NAIROBI - Hundreds of Rwandan troops crossed into Congo early yesterday as part of a joint military operation to crack down on rebel militias that have been destabilizing the central African nation for more than a decade.
And I have not seen a word since!
It marks the second time in a month that Congo's president, Joseph Kabila, has made a controversial decision to invite foreign troops onto his soil to help restore security in eastern Congo. Last month, Ugandan troops entered the country to attack hide-outs of the Lord's Resistance Army, a Ugandan rebel movement.
The latest campaign appears to be targeting a Rwandan rebel army that also sought refuge in Congo's dense jungles. The Hutu militia, known as Democratic Forces for the Liberation of Rwanda, or FDLR, is accused of seeking to overthrow Rwanda's Tutsi-led government.
FDLR, which finances itself by illegally exploiting Congo's mineral riches, was founded by Hutu extremists who fled Rwanda after orchestrating the 1994 genocide, which left an estimated 800,000 people dead. Between 1,500 and 2,000 Rwandan troops crossed the border yesterday and began making their way toward the town of Rutshuru, north of the regional capital of Goma, where they were expected to join Congolese troops with tanks and other heavy equipment, UN officials said.
Details about the impending operation were unclear, but a Congolese government spokesman told Reuters that the campaign was expected to last 10 to 15 days.
And I've seen NOTHING SINCE in my news pages!
UN officials, who oversee the world's largest peacekeeping force in Congo, complained that they received only a vague advance warning Monday night about the planned operation, even though their mandate is to provide security.
"We don't know what the exact aim is," said Lieutenant Colonel Jean Paul Dietrich, a UN military spokesman. "Quite surprisingly, we were a little bit sidelined."
That' seems to be a PATTERN with the U.N. (see Gaza)!
He called upon both governments to ensure that any military crackdown complies with international law and provides adequate security to civilians. As a precaution, he said, UN troops deployed yesterday to some displacement camps in the region.
Aid groups and civilians criticized last month's joint operation against the Lord's Resistance Army as ill-prepared. After being bombed by Ugandan helicopters, LRA rebels launched dozens of attacks against civilians, killing more than 500 people and displacing thousands in the past month.
Funny, the MSM didn't seem to interested in the UGANDAN HELICOPTER ATTACKS!!!
The presence of more foreign troops in Congo is stirring uncomfortable memories of the late 1990s, when Ugandan and Rwandan armies twice invaded to help overthrow Congolese regimes. Both countries said they were pursuing rebels and stabilizing their borders, but they also profited from illegal mining.
And WE KNOW WHO is BEHIND THEM, too!!!!!!
One military official in Congo, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the joint Rwandan-Congolese force may also be used to reestablish the Congolese government's authority over territories recently seized by another rebel group, the Tutsi-led National Congress for the Defense of the People, or CNDP, which seeks to overthrow Kabila. CNDP, which historically has received support from the Rwandan government, has been weakened in recent weeks by an internal power struggle.

"Captured in Congo
ONE OF Central Africa's most wanted men was captured Thursday in Rwanda. Warlord General Laurent Nkunda has been threatening the government in the Democratic Republic of Congo and brutalizing civilians in the country's eastern region, after an October offensive that displaced hundreds of thousands of people and brought a wave of rape, hunger, and disease to an already suffering population.
For more on that, please see: Congo
His capture is a relief, because even the largest United Nations peacekeeping operation in the world has been unable to keep up with the number of refugees or to shield civilians from violence.
Unbelievable! So the AmeriKan jewsmedia is heaping all the troubles on the shoulders of this guy? Then he must be a LIBERATOR (or at least opposed to the globalists)!!!!

The capture was unexpected because of the unlikely alliance that brought it about: a team of Rwandan and Congolese forces. Since the Rwandan genocide of 1994, when 800,000 Tutsis were killed by government-incited Hutu gangs, tension has been high between the Tutsi government in Rwanda and the Hutu-aligned government of Congo. A December report by the United Nations revealed that each government supported rebel militias attempting to undermine the other. The report gave damning evidence that Rwanda had contributed money, weapons, and child soldiers to Nkunda, himself a Tutsi, who came to power fighting Hutu militants during the genocide.
This unlikely partnership is a good sign for the war-torn region. One reason for it may be that the Congolese government took the first step to permit Rwandan troops to enter their country in search of Hutu militants threatening Rwandan security. Another reason may be the intense international pressure put on the Rwandan government, in the form of withholding aid, to stop supporting Nkunda.
That's the "official" version of what happened anyway!
This moment provides a critical yet fragile chance for these two countries and the international community. Last fall, then-candidate Barack Obama placed ending this disaster on his Africa platform.
I wouldn't get my hopes up: Obama selected to aid in African holocaust?
To accomplish this, international pressure on both parties must continue. Also, Congo is likely to ask for Nkunda's extradition to be tried for human rights abuses. Rwanda should not be permitted to try him, given its historical support of Nkunda.
So who is going to try Israel's war criminals?
Yet one lesson from this success is that there have to be trade-offs. If Congo asks for Nkunda's extradition, it should expect to be asked to turn over Hutu criminals from the Rwandan genocide still hiding in Congolese territory.
International oversight to ensure that there is give and take is the only way to create stability in the region. Adding more troops to the UN mission may dampen the violence but does not create peace.
Though the politics of this region are fragile, Western governments can no longer afford to play only a passive role, lest the region shatter. The deadly consequences of that have been witnessed before.Oh, they are FAR FROM DOING THAT!!
The West has been BEHIND the SLAUGHTER -- over RESOURCES of all things!!!!

Update:
"Rwanda urged to extradite rebel
KINSHASA - Congo's government yesterday urged Rwanda to extradite detained rebel leader Laurent Nkunda. Rwanda apparently arrested Nkunda as part of a deal with longtime rival Congo, although his fate remains unclear. Rwandan and Congolese troops yesterday exchanged fire with Rwandan Hutu militiamen in eastern Congo, killing nine in a joint military operation. (AP)."
