DRC Three UNHCR workers injured after attack on convoy
A kamikaze killed
at least five people
on Saturday in
Beni,
in the eastern
Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC),
of which the provincial authorities accuse rebels of the
Allied Democratic Forces (ADF) group,
in an official statement.
"The kamikaze, who the guards prevented from entering a
bar full of customers,
activated the bomb at the entrance. The balance, still provisional, is at least six dead, including the kamikaze, and 13 wounded admitted to the hospital", wrote Brigadier General
Sylvain Ekenge,
spokesman for the
North-Kivu
Military Governor
.
A few minutes after the explosion, an
AFP correspondent saw three mangled bodies.
A source from the
Beni City Council
told AFP that
"there are two children"
among the dead
.
"Among the injured are the two deputy mayors of the
Mulekera
and
Ruwenzori
communes,
" he
added, noting that "the ADF terrorists in distress activated their sleeper cells in the town of Beni with a view to taking action against peaceful citizens." .
The bomb exploded inside the
In Box restaurant,
located in the center of the city of Beni, where more than thirty people were celebrating the
Christmas party,
according to two witnesses interviewed by AFP.
Debris from chairs, tables, glasses and bottles were scattered in the restaurant.
On June 27, a homemade bomb blast in a
Catholic church
injured two women.
On the same day, the terrorist was killed in the explosion of his device near a bar and not far from a mosque.
The day before, another machine had exploded, not far from a gas station, without causing damage.
The authorities
accused the ADF rebels of
being responsible for these attacks in the city of Beni.
