BORDER CLOSED AFTER 100 DIE IN SHOOTING
Zaire has closed the border with Rwanda
close to where clashes between Hutu
rebels and Rwandan troops left over 100
dead, including children and women.
A spokesman for the Tutsi-led Rwandan
government said the incident occurred
when government troops investigated a
roadblock set up by Hutu militiamen.
He said fighting broke out when the
Hutu militiamen opened fire. Villagers
in the north-western town of Gisenyi
were killed in the crossfire.
The spokesman said Rwandan troops who
used excessive force would be punished.
