KAMPALA, Uganda (AP) - Rebels attacked villagers tending their fields in northern Uganda on Thursday, hacking to death at least 10 people and wounding some 14 others, an army spokesman said.
The rebels from Lord's Resistance Army attacked the victims with machetes and hoes. They stole nothing during the raid, which apparently was intended only to terrorize civilians, Lt. Tabaro Kiconco said.
The attack at Koch Goma, about 15 miles southeast of Gulu town, was part of the rebels' strategy to show they are still capable of destabilizing the region, despite their being weakened considerably in the course of the civil war, Kiconco said.
