Rebels Agree to Delay Any Attack on Camp

Rebel leader Laurent Kabila, responding to a plea from the United Nations, agreed to delay a threatened attack on the nation’s largest refugee camp. Kabila had threatened to assault the Tingi-Tingi camp, which is on the rebels’ northern front, this week unless the Office of the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees drove out Rwandans he says are armed by the Zairian government. The rebel leader said he granted the reprieve to give the agency time to figure out how to separate the armed men from bona fide refugees in the camp of 150,000 people. Kabila didn’t set a new deadline.
