An African mob stoned to death a suspected terrorist before burning his corpse and eating him in revenge for a series of attacks in Congo that have left 100 people dead

Witnesses said that the young man, who has not been identified, aroused suspicion on a bus in the north east of the country when passengers discovered that he could not speak the local Swahili language and that he was carrying a machete. Witnesses said that he was then stoned to death by the crowd before his body was burned and eaten. The incident in the town of Beni comes following a number of overnight raids in the area blamed on the Islamist group ADF-NALU. The Ugandan rebels are thought to have massacred more than 100 people recently, using hatchets and machetes to kill their victims.
