The president of the Democratic Republic of Congo today vowed to track down those behind two days of heavy fighting in the capital Kinshasa.

Joseph Kabila insisted he would not enter talks with former rebel leader Jean-Pierre Bemba, and Congolese authorities issued an arrest warrant for him.

Mr Bemba is sheltering in the South African embassy where he fled during fierce gun and mortar battles between his men and government soldiers in which more than 100 people were killed in recent days.

"All those who are responsible for insecurity will be tracked down," Mr Kabila said in Kinshasa.
