Church bombing in suspected extremist attack kills 10 in eastern Congo, army says

A group associated to Islamic extremists is suspected of causing a church bombing in eastern Congo that killed at least 10 people and wounded dozens more.

A Kenyan national found at the scene was detained, Mwalushayi said. Congo’s government urged people to avoid crowds and be vigilant as it conducted an investigation, the minister of communication tweeted.

Videos and photos of the attack seen by the AP showed dead bodies lying on the ground outside the church, including what appeared to be a dead child. The injured were being carried out of the church surrounded by other people screaming.
