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.
We haven't heard from the LRA in awhile now. It's good to occasionally be reminded that not all terrorists are Islamists and not all nutbags are Muslims.
Residents at the camp about 10km southwest of the main northern town of Gulu said the rebels struck early in the morning as their victims tended crops near their huts, changing their usual tactic of attacking at night. Regular statement "The rebels know they are losing, so they are trying to show the world they exist by desperately attacking innocent civilians," army spokesman Lieutenant Tabaro Kiconco said.
Yeah, yeah. They've been losing and losing and losing, and somehow the fearsome Ugandan army hasn't managed to wipe them out.

#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?

There goes my theory that not all terrs are Islamists and not all nutbags are Moose limbs.

#1  Josheph Kony became a muslim convert a few years ago. I guess he was favorably impressed with his Sudanese sponsors.
