A Rwandan Hutu rebel group has denied involvement in the killing of the Italian ambassador to the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Luca Attanasio, 43, died in eastern DR Congo on Monday after a UN convoy he was travelling in came under fire.
Officials blamed the Democratic Forces for the Liberation of Rwanda (FDLR).
A FDLR spokesperson said that more than 100 militias operated in the region, and he did not know why his group had been singled out by DR Congo officials.
