Battle in Democratic Republic of Congo

Up to 600 people have been killed in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) in fighting between the army and a former presidential candidate's forces, European Union ambassadors say.

Fighting erupted on Thursday after troops loyal to Jean-Pierre Bemba refused an order to disarm under a plan to cut his security detail to 12 police officers.
