Uganda rebel attack 'kills 170'

An attack by rebels in northern Uganda is reported to have left at least 170 people dead. Rebels from the Lord's Resistance Army attacked and then burned down a camp for displaced civilians north of Lira town, witnesses said. The attack comes less than three weeks after another devastating rebel raid in which more than 40 civilians died. The LRA rebels, who have no clear political agenda, have been terrorising north Uganda for the past 18 years. E-mail this to a friend Printable versio
