LRA rebels kill many in Uganda | ||
2005-05-07 | ||
Ugandan rebels have shot and hacked to death 19 people in the north of the country as they intensified their campaign of attacks on civilians, according to aid workers and the military. Violence has worsened since talks to end a 19-year-old war in northern Uganda stalled earlier this year, prompting warnings that attacks are likely to increase unless the government takes urgent action to revive the negotiations. In the first Lords Resistance Army (LRA) raid on Thursday, rebels wielding axes and guns killed 16 people and seriously wounded several others at the Koch-Goma camp near Gulu. Six of them died in hospital.

#3 Sad. I feel your pain, Fred. Slowly, but surely in the case of Islam, our best hopes, intentions, and innocence is stripped away, crushed, beheaded, and turned to ash. Sigh. Okay, so can we fry 'em up, now? ;-) |
