KINSHASA, June 4 (Reuters) - Rwandan Hutu rebels killed at least 12 Congolese civilians on Wednesday when they opened fire inside a refugee camp in Democratic Republic of Congo's eastern North Kivu province, United Nations officials said.

"They fired indiscriminately inside the camp ... The death toll is now at 12 killed and 24 wounded," U.N. military spokesman Lieutenant-Colonel Jean-Paul Dietrich told Reuters. (Reporting by Joe Bavier, Editing by Pascal Fletcher)
