Embassies attacked in Democratic Republic of the Congo crisis

Large crowds have attacked a number of foreign embassies and a UN building in the Democratic Republic of Congo capital Kinshasa – furious over what they say is the failure to stop a major rebel offensive.

The M23 militia has now managed to capture the airport in the eastern city of Goma, where water and electricity supplies are cut off.

The UN says hundreds of people have been injured with local hospitals overwhelmed.
