Could it be that UPDF soldiers are usually clad in some sort of uniform?
Could it be that bodies had bullet wounds?
Could it be that arms, not generally used by the UPDF, were found in the vicinity?

Subject: ugnet_: Museveni's LDU KILLS LANGO and claims it has killed "rebels"
Date: Mon, 22 Sep 2003 13:51:36 EDT
Educate me fellow Citizens:
How does one tell whether a rotting corpse belongs to an LRA rebels or a UPDF
soldier? That is the question.
Is there some sort of a special mark branded on a body of an LRA REBEL which
somehow identifies the body as that of an LRA rebel?
The fact of the matter is that Museveni's LDU are probably killing innocent
Lango civilians ..and then claiming that they have KILLED "REBELS"
all in all this is yet another cheap propaganda by Museveni and cabal

ABOUT 17 bodies of Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) rebels have been discovered
rotting on the banks of River Ogola in Itobara village, Ngai sub-county in Apac
district, reports Dennis Ojwee.
The bodies were scattered in the bushes in the river valley.
The commander of the Local Defence Unit (LDU) at Itobara in Nagai, Sgt. Fred
Ogwang, told The New Vision at Itobara detachment recently, that his forces
had engaged the LRA in three battles the previous week in Itobara, north of Ngai
sub-county headquarters.
He said the rebels were believed to have died during the battles.
The UPDF 4th Division intelligence officer in Gulu, Capt. Fred Rugadia Akiiki
who visited the scene, said the detachment was opened at Itobara to
strengthen security and narrow the rebels' area of operation.
"This junior officer, Sgt. Ogwang did a commendable job that day. In fact he
even did a better job than some of the second lieutenants," Rugadia told
leaders of Ngai and Itobara recently.
Residents said the rebels often infiltrated the Ngai, Itobara, Aboke and
Iceme areas in Lalogi and Lakwana sub-counties in Omoro county.
The local leaders commended the willingness of the locals to cooperate with
the army by quickly reporting information about the rebels. He also decried
heavy drinking among some LDUs.
