Three killed in DR Congo after rival rebel infighting
Three people have been killed in the Democratic Republic of Congo in fighting between rival rebel groups for control of a gold mine.
Residents in the eastern province of Ituri say militiamen from the Patriotic Resistance Force of Ituri built a camp to exploit the Tulabo gold mine.
The move led to clashes with the Integrationist Force of the Congo.
The two groups recently signed agreements to stop fighting.
Last year the Congolese government imposed a state of siege in both Ituri and North Kivu provinces granting additional powers to the military.
But dozens of armed groups are still carrying out frequent attacks against civilians.
