Museveni views captured LRA weapons

    NAIROBI

    President Yoweri Museveni, presently touring parts of northern Uganda, has expressed surprise over the type of weapons Sudan has given to the rebel Lord's Resistance Army (LRA), a presidential press statement said. He was viewing a huge amount of weaponry captured in the last 16 months with the help of the local population, news organisations reported. Museveni hailed the armed forces "for having neutralised [LRA leader Joseph] Kony
    and his criminal activities," the release said.
