Prominent human rights group Amnesty International accused Congo's army and a rebel group of bombing densely populated areas in attacks that “likely constitute war crimes.”
Both the Congolese armed forces and the M23 rebel group fired unguided rockets and other explosives into densely populated areas in eastern Congo more than 150 times between January and July last year, Amnesty said in a report released Sunday. The attacks killed more than 100 civilians and wounded hundreds more.
