Hundreds of bodies were found in northern DR Congo in what appears to be an unreported massacre. UN officials have confirmed that the massacre occurred in December of 2009 and Ugandan Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA) is to blame. According to Reuters, perhaps more than 300 people have been found. The men had been tied around the chest by the same rope and killed with wood sticks with a blow to the back of the head and neck – a brutal and fast technique according to a UN investigator.
