U.N. brigade in Congo opened fire at border post, killing two

Soldiers returning from leave to a United Nations intervention brigade in Democratic Republic of Congo opened fire at a border post, killing at least two people and injuring 15 others, Congo's government and the U.N. peacekeeping force said on Sunday.

It was not clear why the soldiers opened fire.
