KINSHASA, Congo (AP) - Rwandan rebels attacked villagers in neighboring eastern Congo with machetes, spears and hammers on Sunday, killing 17, wounding 28 and taking up to a dozen hostages, a local rights worker said, citing survivors' accounts.
The attackers, who are based in Congo, descended on the village of Kanyola in the middle of the night, rights worker Constantin Charondagwa said by telephone from Bukavu, about 30 miles from the village. Charondagwa said he visited Kanyola and interviewed people who escaped the attack.
The motive for the reported attack was not immediately clear
