150 reported killed at Burundi refugee camp

The United Nations says gunmen have killed more than 150 people in an overnight raid on a camp for Congolese Tutsi refugees in Burundi.

The Gatumba camp, near the border with Congo, provides shelter for 4,000 refugees who fled the country in June.

A Hutu rebel group, the FNL, has claimed responsibility for the attack, which took place late last night.
