KATAKWI: CLASHES BETWEEN ARMY AND LRA REBELS UNDERWAY
Violent clashes are underway between the Ugandan army and the rebels of the self-styled LRA (lord’s Resistance Army) in Katakwi district, northeast Uganda. The news comes from MISNA sources, who cite various local sources. No further information is available for the time being. The hunt for the rebels began at daybreak after they had attacked and looted the commercial town of Bata, located between the northern Lira district and Katakwi, a few hours earlier. According to media sources, yesterday at least five people died and around ten were injured in Katakwi when the minibus on which they were travelling was blown up by a landmine. The news was released today by military sources, who said this incident – which has not yet been confirmed by MISNA sources – was also the work of the LRA.
