19 07 13 Associated Press: Congo army official held for desecrating corpses

Col. Olivier Hamuli said Lt. Solomo
Bangala was arrested early Thursday evening in eastern Congo, where
fighting between the army and the M23 rebel group has flared since Sunday. Government
spokesman Lambert Mende confirmed the arrest.

Wednesday's
U.N. statement said Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon was "deeply
concerned" over the reports and called on Congo to bring the perpetrators to
justice. It also said the peacekeeping mission in Congo was
reviewing its support for army units suspected of being involved.

Earlier this
year, the U.N. threatened to withdraw support for units accused of mass rapes
in eastern Congo
last November.
