Zaire targets US envoy
Zairean protesters burned the American flag and demanded the expulsion of the US Ambassador, Daniel Simpson, and his staff, while the Zairean prime minister blamed everyone but France for ignoring what he called the tragedy in eastern Zaire.
Chanting: "That's enough, Clinton!" and "Americans, get out!" about 200 people demonstrated at the US embassy. Zairean soldiers moved in to break up the demonstration when the flag was burned. AP - Kinshasa
