Rebels ready to attack Rwanda

Kigali - Hundreds of armed Rwandan insurgents based in neighbouring Congo are moving into forests separating the two countries to prepare for attacks on Rwanda, UN and Congolese army officers said on Thursday.

At least a thousand insurgents moved from three bases in eastern Congo, converging near the border and conducting reconnaissance missions to lay the groundwork for the attacks, said Brigadier General Obed Wibasira, commander of the Congolese army in the North Kivu province.

Troops of the former main Congolese rebel group are now fighting elements of the Rwandan insurgents in a bid to derail the offensives, Wibasira said by telephone from Goma, the provincial capital.
