Sources: At least 69 killed in attack in Ituri, Democratic Republic of the Congo

At least 69 people were killed in an attack in the troubled northeast of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, local and security sources told AFP on Saturday.

Gunmen with links to the so-called Codeco militia carried out the attack in Ituri province at the end of April, according to local sources.

One local source says more than 70 people were killed.

The severe security concerns in the area, which is rich in mineral deposits, have delayed recovery of the bodies for some time.
