Gunmen fire on UN offices in Congo after demonstration

UNIDENTIFIED attackers fired on United Nations offices in the northeastern Congolese town of Bunia, a day after UN troops detained army and security chiefs of a tribal militia.

Leocadio Salmeron, a spokesman for the UN mission in Congo, said UN troops fired into the air to disperse a crowd of demonstrators outside the office and no one was hurt.

But Etienne Membe Ngona, the deputy security chief for the Union of Congolese Patriots, or UPC, said one person was killed and three others wounded by the UN troops.
