Italy’s ambassador to the Democratic Republic of Congo, Luca Attanasio, and two others were killed on Monday in an attack on a United Nations convoy in the eastern part of the country, reported The Guardian. The other two killed in the attack were a military police officer and a driver. The convoy of the United Nations World Food Programme was attacked around 10.15 am during an attempted kidnapping near the Kanyamahoro town, near regional capital Goma. It was not immediately clear who was responsible for the attack, however there have been reports of many armed groups operating around the Virunga National Park.
