The mayor of the Ugandan border town where suspected rebels attacked a school has said 41 bodies were recovered, including 38 pupils.

Police said the rebels from the Allied Democratic Forces (ADF), who have been launching attacks for years from their bases in the volatile eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo, carried out the raid on Lhubiriha Secondary School in the border town of Mpondwe, late on Friday.
