notes: MONUC and FAPC fighters traded fire in Ndere camp near the Ituri province town of Mahagi, killing two militiamen, and wounding at least two U.N. troops and one civilian. MONUC troops occupied the base. The clash occurred as MONUC tried to investigate reports of a mass grave holding victims of the militia, including child combatants allegedly killed when they wanted to give up their weapons under a U.N.-led disarmament campaign. 100 militiamen fled to nearby forests.
