Burundi: Army says rebels in Congo plan joint attack

Three militias in eastern Congo are plotting a joint attack on Burundi and Rwanda, Burundi's army said on Monday as it prepared to welcome U.N. Security Council officials touring Africa's troubled Great Lakes region. Major Adolphe Manirakiza said the plans were revealed by a fighter from Rwanda's ethnic Hutu rebels, the Democratic Forces for the Liberation of Rwanda (FDLR), who was captured on Sunday on Burundi's border with Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).
