GOMA - Authorities in the Democratic Republic of Congo have expelled two British journalists and a photographer who has contributed to AFP coverage on Friday.
According to their colleagues, the dual had been reporting on armed groups in the volatile North-Kivu region of the central African country.
They had been accompanied by a Congolese AFP journalist and members of a local Non-Government group.
Army officials detained and questioned the three reporters on Monday and confiscated their equipment.

The journalists denied the claim.
