Fifteen die in rebel massacre - Uganda

[dArKeR]

Ugandan insurgents massacred up to fifteen people and abducted several dozen others in a raid Saturday on a village in the northern district of Lira, officials said Sunday.

"They attacked at dawn. People were sleeping and they hacked them to death using machetes because the rebels do not usually use guns. They use machetes and cutlasses. I am sure over ten people were hacked to death but the number is believed to have reached fifteen," Lira district chairman Franco Ojur said on Sunday.

Lords Resistance Army (LRA) guerillas who have been fighting the Ugandan government for the past 17 years carried out the Saturday attack on the village of Bata, about 250km north of the Ugandan capital Kampala.
