Kinshasa (DR Congo), Jan 23 (Xinhua) Laurent Nkunda, Tutsi rebel leader of the National Council for the Defence of the People (CNDP) of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DR Congo), has been arrested, a statement from a joint Rwandan-DR Congo military operation said Friday.
The statement said Nkunda was captured Thursday evening when he was fleeing to neighbouring Rwanda.
