    The semi-official ‘New Vision’ newspaper reported yesterday that at least 16 Allied Democratic Forces (ADF) rebels were killed in an army ambush on Friday in western Uganda. The rebels were caught in the Rwenzori national park as they entered the country from the DRC. The paper quoted an army commander as saying some 50 ADF fighters have been killed in Kasese and Bundibugyo since the beginning of the month.
