About 20,000 Hutu refugees from Burundi fled their camp in eastern Zaire after it was attacked by armed men, aid officials said.
The assailants were believed to be Banyamulenge, ethnic Tutsis recently ordered out of Zaire by provincial authorities.
Four refugees were killed and six wounded in the attack on Runingo camp, a UN source in Burundi said. Reuter - Bujumbura
