An Indian pilot is being held hostage by Congolese rebels who attacked an aircraft over the weekend, official sources said on Tuesday. Congolese rebels kidnapped the pilot when they attacked an aircraft on a remote airstrip in the tin mining area of Walikale in the country’s North Kivu province.

Congolese army General Baigwa Dieudonne Amuli has blamed Rwandan Hutu FDLR rebels for the attack, sources said

The Release ::

New Delhi: Syed Mazher, the Indian pilot who was abducted by rebels in Congo on July 24, has been released.

Mazher was released without ransom, sources in the External Affairs Ministry tell CNN-IBN.

Congolese rebels took Mazher, who was working as a co-pilot, hostage when they attacked an aircraft on a remote airstrip in a tin mining area of Walikale in the country's North Kivu province.

The plane was looted before it returned to Goma, the capital of the North Kivu, a resource-rich violence-ridden province of the nation.
