Secretly returning to Kwilu province last summer, he organized military training camps in the dense forests, made frequent trips to Brazzaville, capital of the former French Congo and the hangout for exiled Congolese extremists plotting against the central government. There, Mulele presumably obtained funds and equipment from Red Chinese and Soviet agents, for when Congo police came upon Mulele's outposts, they found copies of Mao Tse-tung's handbook on guerrilla warfare, Soviet-made cameras, a combat radio...
