Ugandan school massacre leaves dozens dead in militant attack.

At least 38 pupils and three adults have been killed in an attack on a school in Uganda by a rebel group with ties to ISIS, according to local authorities. The attack took place at Lhubiriha Secondary School in the town of Mpondwe western Uganda, close to the border with the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). At least six people were abducted by the rebels, who fled across the porous border into Congo after the raid on Friday night, according to the Ugandan military. Officials blamed the attack on the militant group called the Allied Democratic Forces (ADF), which has sworn allegiance to ISIS.

Suspected rebel attack on Ugandan school leaves dozens dead.

At least 41 people, mostly students, were killed and six others were abducted when about 20 members of the ISIS-linked Allied Democratic Forces (ADF) rebel group attacked a school in western Uganda. The ADF began fighting against the government after being founded in the mid-90s and was sanctioned by the United States and the United Nations in 2014 for terrorist activities in the region, including attacks on children. The military suspects more dead bodies may be found, but said there was no one still alive trapped in the school.
