Ugandan Rebels Attack, Burn Village; 10 Killed
More than 200 rebels of the Christian fundamentalist Lord’s Resistance Army burned down a village in northern Uganda and killed 10 people, survivors and army officers said Tuesday.
It was the first attack in northern Uganda since April 22 by the rebels, who want to rule Uganda in accordance with the Bible’s 10 Commandments.
The survivors and officers said rebels attacked Padibe, 300 miles north of Kampala, and burned down more than 120 thatched huts Friday before heading north toward the Sudanese border a few miles away.
