It aimed at rescuing European and Zairian hostages held by FNLC rebels after they conquered the city of Kolwezi. The operation succeeded with the liberation of the hostages and light military casualties. (Photo by CAROLINE THIRION / AFP) (Photo credit should read CAROLINE THIRION/AFP via Getty Images)
