Ugandan troops killed more than 100 Lords Resistance Army (LRA) rebels in an attack in southern Sudan, but the leader of the shadowy cult-like group apparently escaped, an army spokesman said Thursday. Ugandan officials said Sudanese authorities had approved Wednesday's raid east of Juba on the suspected headquarters of self-proclaimed mystic and LRA leader Joseph Kony. "Over 100 rebels were killed in yesterday's attack. But Kony's body has not been found," said Lt. Col. Otema Awany, the army's chief intelligence officer for northern Uganda. "The problem is that our troops were trying to capture him alive. They fired at him, and he was running, but right now it is not clear whether any bullets struck him."
| It would be nice if he crawled off wounded and was set upon by a pack of hyenas, but I think a body to show everyone he's really dead would be better. |
| As Fred would say, pray for sepsis. |
An army spokesman had said Wednesday that Kony may have been killed in the raid.
| Another report says thay grabbed one of his wives, several kids and all his personnel stuff. Just missed him this time, the fact Sudan is letting Ugandan troops chase him this far into Sudan is a good sign. |
