KINSHASA (Reuters) - At least eight people were killed in an attack on an army camp in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo late on Thursday that local sources blamed on Rwandan Hutu rebels targeted by a Congolese army operation.

Gunmen raided the camp in the village of Rumangabo, about 45 km (30 miles) north of North Kivu's provincial capital of Goma, at around 11 p.m., said Jean Claude Mbabanze, the president of the Civil Society of Rutshuru.
