THE United States embassy in Kampala has reiterated the security alert warning it
issued to American citizens living in Uganda.
"There is no exaggeration at all. Although the northern insurgency has been on for 18
years, this time we received the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) rebel threat to target
Americans," the deputy public affairs officer, Michael Gonzales, said yesterday.
Gonzalez said the situation had not changed since they issued the warning on Friday.

"The embassy is not at liberty to release the numbers. But there are hundreds of
Americans all over Uganda working with NGOs, missionaries, volunteers and tourists,"
he said.
Gonzales said the embassy had received reports that the LRA might be targeting
American citizens in the northern districts of Adjumani, Apac, Gulu, Kitgum, Lira and
Pader.
