KINSHASA, July 5 (Xinhuanet) -- Sixty-three military servicemen have been arrested in the Democratic Republic of Congo for suspected involvement in a failed coup on June 11, but their leader Major Eric Lengue was still at large, a presidential spokesman said Monday.

    The spokesman said the Congolese authorities are still making efforts to track Lengue. Different sources revealed that he has fled to France, Belgium, an embassy of a foreign country, or the neighboring Republic of Congo.

    The intelligence service is making verification on the information about Lengue's whereabouts, he said.

    On June 11, Lengue of the presidential guard and his backers took control of the national radio and television offices, then the national electricity company, SNEL. But the troops loyal to the government retook the station soon. Enditem
