Description

A brewing crisis in Africa as Rwanda-backed rebels who captured eastern Congo's largest city said they want to take their fight to the far-off capital, Kinshasa. Congo’s president has called for a massive military mobilization to resist the rebellion, and his defense minister rejected calls for talks. Efforts are continuing to retrieve the two aircraft involved in a midair collision outside of Washington that killed 67 people Wednesday night. Investigators from multiple U.S. agencies recovered so-called black boxes from the American Airlines jet that broke into several pieces in the Potomac River after colliding with a U.S. military helicopter. An interview with aviation crash attorney William Angelley.
