Rebels threaten to bomb eight towns

    NAIROBI
    Rebels of the Allied Democratic Forces (ADF) are planning to bomb eight towns in Uganda, the independent ‘Sunday Monitor’ newspaper reported. The threat, contained in an ADF document, was handed over to the Uganda People’s Defence Force (UPDF) at Kamwenge by a former ADF commander, Mugisha Ali, who defected last month. The document also contained names of the people given the responsibility to bomb the towns of Mbarara, Ntungamo, Hoima and Masindi in the west, Masaka and Kampala in central Uganda, and Iganga in the east.
