Security forces kill 19 terrorists in Rawanda

In Rawanda, security forces killed 19 terrorists blamed for a weekend attack that left 14 dead near the Volcanoes National Park, famous for its mountain gorilla sanctuary. In a statement  the police said, security forces were able to follow these terrorists, to kill 19 of them and arrest five, following the attack overnight on Friday in northern Rwanda. 

Police spokesperson John Bosco Kabera told reporters that investigations are



ongoing to find anyone else who was part of this attack. The attack was blamed on Democratic Forces for the Liberation of Rwanda (FDLR) fighters. It was created by Rwandan Hutu refugees in eastern DRC after the 1994 genocide of Tutsis by majority Hutus in Rwanda. Eastern DRC has been a theatre of ethnic violence for 20 years, fuelled in part by the desire to control valuable mineral resources and farmland.
