| On April 26,2001 in northeastern Congo/Africa, six Red Cross workers were found in their burning vehicles after being hacked and shot to death.They were traveling to a remote location to deliver supplies and assess the needs of those living in the area. It is a region that has seen 'horrendous' tribal fighting. It is estimated that more than a million people have died from fighting or hunger during the past two and one half years.

| On December 17,1996, unkown gunmen stormed a hospital complex in Novye Atagi in the pre-dawn hours and using silencers on their weapons roamed from room to room, breaking doors and spraying bullets at random. Sources attributed the attack to an attempt to escalate turmoil as the country struggled for independence from Russia.
