15 11 13 Associated Press: With M23 beaten in Congo, UN targets FDLR

A council statement issued
Thursday repeatedly names the Democratic Forces for the Liberation of Rwanda
(FDLR) as the key menace remaining in the mineral-rich Congo.

The council noted that the
FDLR is under U.N. sanctions and its "leaders and members include
perpetrators of the 1994 genocide in Rwanda
and have continued to promote and commit ethnically-based and other killings in
Rwanda" and Congo.

Other militias such as the
Joseph Kony-led Lord's Resistance Army, the Allied Democratic Forces and
various small Mayi Mayi are named as threats to be subdued.

M23 announced its surrender
last week.
