KAMPALA, Uganda (AP) - Rebels in northern Uganda ambushed a truckload of civilians that included school children and killed seven people, prompting an army counterattack that left three rebels dead, officials said Saturday.
Guerrillas from the Lord's Resistance Army staged the attack near Kalongo, 235 miles north of Kampala, on Thursday night, said Morris Ogenga Latigo, the area's member of parliament. He said three children and four men were killed.
A spokesman for the army in the region, Capt. Paddy Ankunda, confirmed the attack. "We made a pursuit and a counterattack a few hours later and killed three rebels," he said.
