Congo: 2 killed in clashes days ahead of poll (AP)

KINSHASA, Congo ? An Associated Press photographer in Congo's capital says two people have been killed in pre-vote clashes.

The photographer saw at least two dead bodies after violence erupted between political supporters and after police shot into the crowd at the airport in Kinshasa. Saturday's violence prompted the governor to call off political rallies ahead of Monday's vote.

Human rights groups expressed fears about an atmosphere of spiraling violence and hate speech ahead of the vote in the vast mineral-rich nation. The outcome of the vote is almost certain to keep President Joseph Kabila in power.
