Congo names third American in a foiled coup plot as mourners gather in Utah to remember plot leader

Congo’s army spokesman, Brig. Gen. Sylvain Ekenge, revealed the third American involved in the foiled coup plot in Kinshasa as Taylor Thomson, though it was unclear if he was arrested or killed during the weekend attack on the presidential palace.

Family in Utah mourned Christian Malanga, the eccentric leader of the failed coup, who was killed after resisting arrest.

The State Department could not confirm Malanga’s U.S. citizenship.

The other two confirmed Americans involved were Benjamin Reuben Zalman-Polun, a convicted marijuana trafficker, and Malanga’s 21-year-old son, Marcel.

Marcel’s mother, Brittney Sawyer, insisted on his innocence, highlighting his recent life in Utah. She posted emotional messages and family photos on social media, the Associated Press reported.
