Two reported killed in ADF attacks

    NAIROBI
    At least two people were reported killed and four wounded in two separate attacks by the rebel Allied Democratic Forces (ADF) in western Uganda at the weekend. In the first attack on Saturday morning, rebels opened fire on a bus near the Mweya Safari Lodge junction on Mbarara-Kasese road, killing at least one civilian, news agencies reported on Monday. Rebels struck at the same spot on Sunday night, killing a local doctor in his own vehicle, AFP said. It quoted an army official as saying the ADF had carried out the attacks to distract the army from its operations against rebel bases in the Ruwenzori Mountains.
