HRW report suggests link between Kampala and UNITA

    NAIROBI
    A new report by Human Rights Watch (HRW) suggests a link between Uganda and Angola's UNITA rebels, the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) said. The report lists some 20 aircraft which reportedly flew into UNITA-controlled areas last year "without giving prior notification". One of the aircraft was said to have been leased to the Ugandan airforce in 1998. "What the aircraft was doing that year in UNITA areas remains to be seen," the report said. Investigations by HRW revealed that senior Ugandan officials were allegedly involved.
