MK UGANDA 10/8/2004 9:22 PADER DISTRICT: 4 KILLED IN AMBUSH General, Brief Four people were killed in an ambush carried out yesterday afternoon by the rebels of the "LRA (lordë Resistance Army)" in North Uganda. MISNA sources reported that the rebels attacked a passing vehicle, killing all the passengers. Shortly after, a vehicle with onboard some parishioners of Patongo (Pader district) passed through the same location on return from Gulu city, where they went to attend the ordination last Saturday of 4 new local priests, but were not harmed. A Ugandan military spokesman yesterday reported the death of 4 civilians and injury of another 4 in an LRA attack in the area of Palula, around 80km east of Gulu, main northern city of the nation. It is unclear if it is the same episode, but however indicates the continued activities of the rebels of Joseph Kony ?sanguinary founder of the LRA ?in the northern districts of Uganda, despite repeated attempts by the armed forces of Kampala to stop them. For 18 years the LRA has been raiding and destroying villages and crops, striking out at the civil population, forced to seek refuge in giant displaced camps, in which over a million people are crowded in inhumane conditions.
