BENI, CONGO - Congo banned public gatherings for two days starting Monday in Beni, after the eastern city was hit by two explosions.
A suicide bomber detonated his explosives at a busy intersection in Beni on Sunday, the same day another explosion rocked a Catholic church, authorities said. Neither bomb killed any civilians, but the government closed major gathering spaces for two days and imposed restrictions on public meetings as a precaution against further explosions.
The suicide bomber has been identified as a Ugandan who was a member of the Allied Democratic Forces, according to Congolese army spokesman Lt. Anthony Mwalushay.
