An Australian mining company has denied complicity in the massacre last year of more than 100 people in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), as victims of the alleged atrocity threatened civil action against the company...Anvil's statement said that while it provided transport to DRC troops, it had no knowledge of what was planned by the military and took no part in the operation...'I think the company ought to have known, because it's a matter of record of the reputation of the Congolese military in terms of brutality,' Slater and Gordon lawyer Richard Meeran said.
