DR Congo attack killed 66 civilians, Africa CDC says
African health authorities said Thursday that Islamic State-linked gunmen killed 66 civilians in an attack last week in northeastern Democratic Republic of Congo.
Wessam Mankoula, a senior official with Africa CDC, told an online press conference that three health workers were among those killed.
Mankoula said insecurity is now one of the greatest obstacles to efforts to fight the country's worst Ebola outbreak.
