U.N. investigator, Asna Jahangir, confirmed at a news briefingin Geneva after her recent investigation mission to Kisangani thatat least 150 of civilians, soldiers and police were killed by the rebels on May 14.

She said that the killing was done by the Rwandan-backed Rally for Congolese Democracy (RCD-Goma).

Jahangir said her report will be submitted to U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights Mary Robinson next week.
