 KALEMIE, Congo (AP) - Rescuers in fishing boats searched for survivors Tuesday in a central African lake at the epicenter of a strong earthquake that killed three people.
On shore, some of the newly homeless wondered why disaster had again struck their destitute region, already devastated by years of civil war.
Monday's quake had a magnitude of 6.8, strong enough to cause widespread heavy damage. The U.S. Geological Survey said the quake was centered six miles below the surface of Lake Tanganyika, between Congo and Tanzania. Two small aftershocks rippled across the region overnight.
