Twenty people were Tuesday night abducted and two vehicles set ablaze in three separate attacks by suspected rebels of the Lord's Resistance Army here.
The abductions took place in Westward in Kitgum town council, Adye village, Layamo Sub county and Chua County, 38 kms east of Kitgum town. Sources say the rebels looted foodstuff and other household property from the residents.
The UPDF 4th Infantry Division public relations officer, Lt. Paddy Ankunda confirmed the rebel incursion, but he was not sure of the number of captives.
Elsewhere, the rebels burnt down two vehicles in Omiya-Anyima sub county.
