DRC sends more troops to frontline as they capture prisoners of war

The Congolese army sends more troops to Goma, and area previously occupied by M23 rebels.

Columns of troops are seen carrying weapons to the front-line as they pursue the fleeing rebels.

The M23 rebels said they quit the hill fronts of Goma to allow an independent investigation into a shelling that has killed civilians in Goma and in neighboring Rwanda.

Congolese officials paraded prisoners of war captured during the fighting.

Three of them were said to be from Rwanda, including two child soldiers.
