 LONDON (AP) - Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni said Tuesday that rebels due to stand trial at the International Criminal Court for rape, mutilation and murder will instead face justice in Uganda at the request of their victims.
Museveni said his government had agreed that members of the Lord's Resistance Army will be dealt with under domestic law, but denied the deal was key to ending the 20-year insurgency in northern Uganda.
Joseph Kony, the rebels' leading official, and four other top leaders have been indicted by the International Criminal Court in The Hague, Netherlands, on atrocity charges.
