Six Red Cross workers were killed in an ambush on a remote eastern Congo road. A Swiss nurse Rita Fox aged 36 and Colombian Julio Delgado 54 were among the dead with four Congolese staff, as aid workers halted operations in the region amid a two year war. The bodies were found in two Red Cross marked vehicles burned along the highway.
