"'Lumumba’s Death Confirmed By The Associated Press ELISABETHYILLE, Katanga— YVSPljrhe Katanga government Monday 2SEDf mnouriced dea th of Patrice Lumumba—and defied the United Nations or anyone else to do any- hf|07 J dl i n p about it. • The office of President Moise ► llshbmbe, archfoe of Lumumba, said the deposed ex-premier lies lin an unmarked grave and the vil- ' % f' a ® e ^ ld ' :)esrnen w h° s ^ ew are getting $8,000 as a reward for X37C (capture of criminals. qj. . “These people have rid the Con- 'go and the whole world of a prob lem,” Tshombe’s Interior Ministry said. The announcement stirred a new threat of civil war in the Congo, where illiterate millions may re gard Lumumba as a martyr. It added another problem to the seemingly desperate role of the United Nations in efforts to bring peace to this eight-month-old coun try. “This will mean blood,” an ar dent follower of Lumumba de clared in Leopoldville, the Congo’s capital. “This will mean war.” But little surprise was evident in Katanga, and some residents of this rich secessionist province, which Lumumba once sought to conquer, said, “Thank goodness he’s dead.” President Tshombe, right-hand man, Interior Minister Godefroid Munongo, disclosed Lumumba’s death. He told newsmen that Lu mumba and two aides—said to have fled with him from a farm house prison last Thursday night —were “massacred yesterday morning” by tribesmen of a vil lage some distance from the point where their getaway car was found in southwest Katanga Sat urday. He refused to name the village or say where the bodies were interred. Conformed With Rumors The official story conformed closely with weekend rumors here that the lanky, left-leaning nation alist agitator, 35, Vas doomed or already dead under circumstances that would never be fully ex plained. Munongo apparently took note of that. “I know that people will say this has' been a plot and that the Katanga government assassinated Lumumba,” he told reporters. “Such an accusation is inevitable —even if Lumumba had died of illness, old age or natural causes. “I will speak frankly: If people accuse us of killing Lumumba, I will reply: “P^ove it.” i with , “DieI U” ie momi! uate eat ' notkees. ay’s colii blights!
