Kigali (Rwanda):

Unidentified gunmen killed eight people and injured 18 during an overnight attack in northern Rwanda near the border with DR Congo, police said Saturday.

The attack took place in Musanze district which attracts tourists because of its Volcanoes National Park and its mountain gorillas, they said.

The area has repeatedly been targeted by Rwandan rebels operating from the Democratic Republic of Congo.
