Three Americans are among 37 people sentenced to death in the Democratic Republic of Congo over what the army says was a coup attempt. A military court handed death sentences to 37 out of 51 defendants, including a Belgian, Briton and Canadian -- all naturalised Congolese. "The court pronounces the harshest sentence, that of death," court president Freddy Ehume said, following the trial that began in early June. SOUNDBITE
