KINSHASA (Reuters) - Congolese authorities arrested six people in connection with the dumping of tons of highly radioactive minerals into a river near the southeastern town of Likasi, the environment minister said on Friday.
A quarantine zone was also set up around the site, just 10 km (6 miles) from the mining town of 300,000 people, where tests on Thursday revealed radiation levels nearly 50 times the limit for mineral exports from Democratic Republic of Congo. Click: Six arrested in Congo radioactive dumping scandal
