A policeman died and two others were wounded when six men claiming to belong to a “new” rebel group attacked Boroboro police post, near Lira, in northern Uganda. The rebels, calling themselves “Citizens’ Army for Multiparty Politics”, left a letter saying they were fighting to restore political pluralism in the country, the independent ‘Monitor’ reported on Thursday. The paper quoted Lira’s resident district commissioner Agondwa Tee as saying four of the attackers were dressed in military uniforms while the other two were in civilian clothes. “This is a surprise attack but we shall pursue them,” he said.
