Mayi-Mayi, Interahamwe implicated in attacks

    NAIROBI
    Meanwhile, the semi-official 'New Vision' cited security sources who suggested Congolese Mayi-Mayi fighters and Rwandan Interahamwe militia were implicated in the ADF raids. According to the sources, they crossed into the Semliki national park where they joined up with the ADF. Bundibugyo Resident District Commissioner Edward Masiga said: "It's very clear that most of the attacks in the district were carried out by a joint force of ADF, Interahamwe and Mayi-Mayi. Their intention is to gain mountain grounds for recruitment and Nyahuka airstrip for supplies. But this cannot easily happen."
