Police in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo have detained members of a group allegedly linked to the killing of Italy’s ambassador last year as well as more recent kidnappings of NGO workers, a provincial police chief said on Tuesday.

Last February, Ambassador Luca Attanasio, his bodyguard Vittorio Iacovacci and their driver Mustapha Milambo were killed during a botched kidnapping on a road in eastern Congo, as they were heading to visit a UN humanitarian project at a school.

Police Commissioner Aba Van Ang on Tuesday presented groups of recent detainees at a meeting with North Kivu province’s military governor Constant Ndima. Some of those detained were involved in Attanasio’s killing, he said. “Among these groups is the that kidnapped the Italian ambassador and killed him,” he said in comments shared by his communications team.He said the group was also involved in the kidnapping in December of members of the International Committee of the Red Cross , who were later freed.
