March 29 (UPI) -- The United Nations confirmed the remains of two bodies found in the Democratic Republic of Congo were those of two U.N. workers missing since earlier in the month.
Michael Sharp, of the United States, and Zaida Catalan, of Sweden, working with the U.N. mission to the DRC, were last seen investigating human rights abuses in the remote village of Bunkonde on March 12. They were part of a mission known as the Group of Experts on the Democratic Republic of Congo, responsible for monitoring insurgent groups in the eastern part of the country.
