Congolese Government Forces Fight Attackers in Capital; Diplomats Cite Coup Attempt

KINSHASA, Congo -- Government forces battled attackers at military installations and television headquarters in the Congolese capital Sunday in what diplomats called a coup attempt against President Joseph Kabila.

Fighters loyal to the late Congo dictator Mobutu Sese Seko were among those behind the attempt, British Ambassador Jim Atkinson told The Associated Press.

The coup attempt began before dawn and lasted through four hours of gunfire. Shooting eased by late morning, with the coup attempt apparently contained by loyalist troops.

Kabila was believed in the country on Sunday, but where was unclear.
