The Rwandan rebel group Hutu denied involvement in the assassination of the Italian ambassador to the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Luca Attanasio, 43, died after the UN convoy he was traveling in was attacked. Media reports indicated that the ambassador and a carabinieri had been taken by the rebels and executed in the forest. But the latter shrug their shoulders saying they have no finger at all in this event. Local officials blamed the Democratic Forces for the Liberation of Rwanda (FDLR) for the incident.
But a spokesman for the group said more than 100 militias were operating in the region and did not understand why the finger of blame had been turned on them. “We had no role in that heinous assassination,” said Cure Ngoma. A carabinieri and the driver of the vehicle were killed along with the ambassador. According to Democratic Republic of Congo officials, the attack is believed to have been an abduction attempt. It is not yet clear how the Democratic Republic of Congo identified the attackers.
