UN Denies 5 Civilians Killed in UN Helicopter Attack in DR Congo

United Nations: The United Nations on Thursday rejected accusations from a governor in the Democratic Republic of Congo that five civilians had been killed in a UN helicopter attack against rebel fighters this week.

After conducting a fact-finding mission on the ground and visiting a hospital, the UN mission in the DR Congo said it "does not believe that reports that five civilians were killed are accurate," said UN spokesman Stephane Dujarric.
