   Italy said on Friday it had evacuated 17 Roman Catholic nuns and priests from Zaire where they had been at risk from fighting between government troops and ethnic Tutsi rebels. The Foreign Ministry said the 10 Europeans and seven Africans took a special flight from the Garamba national park in northern Zaire to the Ugandan capital Kampala where they were being looked after at the Italian embassy. The group had travelled from their mission on the edge of the park to a landing strip to make the rendezvous, a ministry official said. The ministry said the group consisted of 13 nuns, seven Italians and six Zaireans, and four priests, two from Belgium, one from Spain and one from Zambia.
