Ugandan rebels massacre 100 villagers

Ugandan rebels burned and looted six villages in remote southern Sudan, killing at least 100 people and forcing some 15,000 to flee, a religious leader and Sudanese rebels said.

Lord’s Resistance Army rebels attacked the villages around the town of Madgwi, about 30 miles north of the Ugandan border, between June 25-27, said the Rev Paul Yugusuk, head of the Anglican Church. He said about 100 villagers were killed.
