The Tai-Ex opened down 95-points this morning from yesterday's close, at
15,975 on turnover of 4.4-billion N-T.

end of last week.
The bellwether electronics sector led the downturn, but selling was also seen
among old economy and financial stocks throughout the session, putting
additional (額外的) pressure on the local main board.

Congo's military is accusing Rwanda of ``no less than an invasion'' after a
rebel group captured a key town in eastern Congo.
The military confirmed late Monday that Bunagana had fallen into rebel hands
earlier in the morning.
Rwanda, however, has repeatedly denied that it backs the M23 rebel group.
Bunagana is only 60 kilometers northeast of Goma, a city of nearly 2 million
people that also serves as a hub for trade, international aid organizations
and the U.N. peacekeeping mission.
Relations between Rwanda and Congo have been fraught (焦慮的) for decades.
Rwanda alleges that Congo gave refuge to the ethnic Hutus who carried out the
1994 Rwandan genocide.
