Congo court urges massacre trial for foreign miners

A Congolese military court has called for three former employees of Australian mining company Anvil Mining to be tried for complicity in war crimes committed by government soldiers in 2004. A court document, seen by Reuters, calls for the men to stand trial for facilitating crimes, including summary executions, rape and looting, alleged to have been committed by nine Congolese soldiers when they put down a small rebellion in Katanga province...According to legal experts, the document means that the prosecutor has finished his investigation and believes there is sufficient evidence for a trial to be held.
