A woman peacekeeper was killed Monday during an attack by a rebel group on a UN military camp in DR Congo's volatile east, sources said. The 28-year-old soldier was killed when the base in Kiliya in the Beni region was attacked, Malawi's defence ministry said in a possible pointer to her nationality. The UN source speaking on condition of anonymity told AFP "a woman blue helmet was killed in an attack on a MONUSCO base by presumed rebels of the ADF", or the Allied Democratic Forces -- the most dangerous of scores of armed groups operating in the east of the DR Congo. bmb-hba/ach/jj
