Congo rebels free captured Nepal peacekeepers



Kathmandu, July 9 (IANS) Five Nepali soldiers serving with the UN Peacekeeping Forces in Congo have been freed after being held captive for over a month by a rebel warlord and facing execution threats, Nepal's official media said Sunday.

Seven Nepali soldiers were taken hostage by militiamen loyal to Congolese warlord Peter Karim May 28 during a UN and government military operation aimed at ousting rebels from Fataki, the main town in Ituri province of eastern Congo.

Though two of the captive soldiers were released June 7, the rebels held the remaining five, demanding hefty ransom as well as the release of their men.

After the UN rejected their demands, saying the captives should be freed unconditionally, the Revolutionary Movement of Congo, a rebel coalition of gunmen, had recently threatened to execute them following fresh clashes between government troops and the rebels.

However, the state-run Nepal Television Sunday said the five men were released unharmed. There were no details immediately available about where or when they were freed.
