KINSHASA (Reuters) - Riot police used tear gas to disperse hundreds of protesters in the Congolese capital Kinshasa on Saturday as campaigning by rival groups drew to a close two days before presidential and parliamentary elections, Reuters reporters said.
There were bouts of rock-throwing between opposing supporters and brief bursts of gunfire, the reporters said. Citing local health and security officials, a United Nations source said at least one person had died but there was no official confirmation of the death or its circumstances.
