Search On For 200 Whites Held In Northern Congo
Belgian paratroops and Congolese soldiers hunted for about 200 whites reported missing in the northern Congo as more than 900 refugees arrived in Leopoldville from Stanleyville and 500 to 600 more awaited evacuation at the airport. Of the 63 Americans trapped in the rebel zone, 34 and two murdered missionaries’ bodies arrived in Leopoldville. Fighting continued near the airport where foreigners awaited evacuation, while Premier Tshombe canceled plans for a triumphant Stanleyville entry. The United States urged accountability for the murder of two American missionaries, Dr Paul Carlson and Phyllis Rhine, as rebels threatened to kill all whites. Local and foreign correspondents were among those killed or beaten during the conflict.
