35 killed in LRA massacre in northern Uganda
2004-05-02
Rebels of the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) led by Joseph Kony killed at least 35 people and wounded 18 others in their attack on a camp for internally displaced persons in northern Uganda on Thursday evening. Over 100 rebels wearing the uniforms of the government troops entered the camp in Gulu district and started to kill the people, survivors said. A survivor, who is in Gulu hospital nursing a broken leg, said 35 bodies were recovered from the camp housing about 25,000 people displaced by the war. Another survivor said most of the dead have bullet injuries all over their bodies and other have broken limbs. Local security sources said that at least two government soldiers were killed and some others were reportedly missing. This is the third time since 2002 the rebels attacked the place.
