LONDON (AP) - The leader of a cult-like Ugandan rebel force accused of kidnapping thousands of children and mutilating civilians told British media he wants to talk peace.
Joseph Kony, founder of the Lord's Resistance Army, said he was innocent of the crimes against humanity charges he faces in an international court. He said he was guided by spirits and started his 2-decade-old uprising because he wanted Uganda to be ruled by the biblical Ten Commandments.
"Peace talks are good for me," Kony said in an interview conducted in a remote camp in Congo near where the borders with Sudan and Uganda. The interview, which appeared to have been conducted in recent weeks, was with a freelance journalist who reported for The Times and the BBC. It was posted on the BBC's Web site and published by The Times on Wednesday.
