US blames Rwanda and rebels for deadly camp strike
The US has blamed the Rwandan army and M23 rebel group for the deadly bombing of a displacement camp in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
At least nine people, including seven children, were killed in the strike on the Mugunga camp in the eastern city of Goma on Friday.
The Congolese army and M23 blamed each other for the attack.
Rwanda, which borders DR Congo, is widely accused of backing the rebel group and called the US accusation "ridiculous".
