The United Nations Deputy Special Representative for Congo says military offenses will be launched against militants who killed at least 15 Tanzanian UN peacekeepers last week in eastern Congo.
In a memorial ceremony Monday, December 11, David Gressly said those who staged the assault, which killed 15 United Nations peacekeepers and wounded 50 others, will pay for their actions. The Dec. 7 attack was the deadliest single attack on a UN peacekeeping mission in nearly 25 years. The UN peacekeeping mission in Congo is the largest in the world.
