BENI, Democratic Republic of Congo—ISIS terrorists killed at least 35 people in an overnight attack on a village in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo on March 9, in retaliation for a military crackdown on rebel activity, an army spokesman said.

The assailants were members of the Allied Democratic Forces (ADF), Anthony Mualushayi said, referring to a Ugandan armed group based in eastern Congo that has pledged allegiance to the ISIS terrorist group and conducts frequent raids on villages.
