Congolese government forces arrested a top militia commander and two army generals in connection with the slayings of nine U.N. peacekeepers, a United Nations spokesman said.
Militia chief Floribert Ndjabu was arrested in Kinshasa, the capital, U.N. spokesman Kemal Saiki said.
Saiki said police also arrested Gen. Germain Katanga and Gen. Goda Sukpa, former militia commanders under Ndjabu who were given their army posts in January as part of an agreement to end Congo’s 1998-2002 war.
