    NAIROBI
    At least 20 people were killed by rebels of the Allied Democratic Forces (ADF) in the western Kabarole and Bundibugyo districts on Thursday and Friday, the semi-official 'New Vision' daily reported on Saturday. Ten people were killed in a rebel attack on Nyakigumba trading centre on Thursday and another nine in Bubombi village in Bundibugyo district on Friday. The death toll rose further when the rebels slaughtered a group of herdsmen at Kabunomi village, the paper reported. The state ministers for security, Muluri Mukasa, and for disaster and relief, Jane Francis Kuka, visited the scene of Friday's massacre as part of an ongoing mission to assess security in the districts of Kabarole and Bundibugyo.
