GENEVA, 10 Nov. - (ANA) - The United Nations said on Tuesday extra-judicial killings, torture and detentions were increasing in Burundi and warned that the international organization is less well-equipped to deal with the situation than it was in Rwanda before the 1994 genocide.

It said there has been 252 extra-judicial killings since April and that more bodies had been found on Tuesday with hands bound.

"We are more poorly positioned to respond to the warning signs today than we were in 1994," Scott Campbell, central and west Africa chief at the U.N. human rights office, told a news conference.- (ANA)
