At least 321 civilians were killed in a previously unreported massacre in Congo in late 2009.
New York-based Human Rights Watch said in its report released Saturday that at least 250 more people were taken by the Lord's Resistance Army rebels during the attack in the Makombo area of northeastern Congo, including no less than 80 children, according to Fox News.
The majority of those killed were men who were tied up, before being hacked to death with machetes, according to MSNBC.
The Lord's Resistance Army is considered one of Africa's most brutal rebel armies, and its leaders are the subject of an International Criminal Court arrest warrant.
