Ugandan School Attacked, Dozens Killed and Abducted by Militants.

Militants linked to Islamic State attacked a school in western Uganda, killing 37 people and abducting six others. The attackers, from the rebel group Allied Democratic Forces (ADF), fled towards Virunga National Park in Congo. The ADF rebels launched their insurgency against President Yoweri Museveni in the 1990s from an initial base in the Rwenzori Mountains. The group was largely defeated by the Ugandan military but remnants fled across the border into the vast jungles of eastern Congo from where they have since maintained their insurgency - perpetrating attacks on civilian and military targets in both Congo and Uganda.
