Attack (on World Wildlife Fund vehicle) in DR Congo's gorilla park- 2 dead
Two people have been killed and three injured in an attack in a park in the Democratic Republic of Congo, a United Nations-backed radio station says.

Radio Okapi says a vehicle belonging to the environment group WWF, which was carrying 11 people, was ambushed by gunmen in Virunga National Park.

The wife and daughter of a park warden were shot dead in the attack.

Armed groups frequently carry out attacks in the park, home to at least 380 endangered mountain gorillas.
