GUNFIRE RATTLES DR CONGO CAPITAL !

Mr Bemba's personal armed guard are believed to number 200 men. Gunfire and explosions have echoed around the Congolese capital, Kinshasa, as government troops clashed with the opposition leader's personal militia.
The UN Security Council has expressed "serious concern" over the fighting and has called for an immediate ceasefire.
Troops loyal to failed presidential candidate Jean-Pierre Bemba have refused to disband and join the army.
The half-naked guards, wearing red head scarves and carrying bows and rifles, took over streets near Mr Bemba's home.
Ceasefire call
On Thursday night, Mr Bemba appealed to his soldiers to return to their positions.
"I ask the soldiers of the FARDC [Congolese army] not to fire on my soldiers. We must talk like politicians," he said in a message broadcast across the city on UN radio.
Mr Bemba, a former rebel leader, was defeated by Joseph Kabila in landmark presidential elections in October last year.
His personal armed guard are believed to number some 200 men, according to a 2006 estimate from the UN mission in Congo.
Mr Bemba's party says his safety is not guaranteed if his guards disarm.
'Bodies'
The BBC's Arnaud Zajtman, in Kinshasa, says that it is not clear who started the shooting on Thursday morning.
Gunfire continued throughout the day and, by late evening, Mr Bemba's guards controlled a large area of the city's business district.
The explosions could be heard across the Congo River in the neighbouring capital of the Republic of Congo, Brazzaville, and the city's town hall was hit by a rocket.
There are reports of both soldiers and civilians being killed and wounded in the fighting in Kinshasa.
Our correspondent says eyewitnesses have told him they have seen the bodies of five civilians and two soldiers killed in the street battles.
UN peacekeepers have not intervened, but our reporter saw a few UN armoured vehicles deployed near the scene of the fighting.
Some 15,000 UN troops - the world's largest peacekeeping force - are in DR Congo.
Security
Mr Bemba, who was a vice-president in the transitional government and is now a senator, is entitled to 15 policemen for his protection.
Under an agreement signed ahead of the election, the winner of the presidential poll is committed to guarantee the loser's security.
Mr Bemba's Movement for the Liberation of Congo (MLC) party says their leader is in danger and wants talks about the terms of these agreements.
Last year's elections were DR Congo's first democratic elections in more than 40 years after a transitional peace process that ended a brutal five year civil war.
Mr Kabila won 58% of the vote compared to Mr Bemba's 42%.
