CONGOLESE rebels took an Indian pilot hostage yesterday when they attacked an aircraft on a remote airstrip in a tin mining zone in the country's North Kivu province, army and mining officials said.
Congolese army General Baigwa Dieudonne Amuli said Rwandan Hutu FDLR rebels were to blame for the attack in Walikale. Goma Express, whose aircraft was attacked, said a Russian colleague escaped and flew the plane back to Goma, the provincial capital, with a wounded Congolese nation on board.
It was not immediately clear what the plane was carrying to Walikale, but the airstrip is often used to export cassiterite, a tin ore, out of Democratic Republic of Congo's bush.
