At least 41 killed in rebel attack on Ugandan school near Congo border

The mayor of the Ugandan border where suspected rebels attacked a school says 41 bodies have been recovered, including 38 students. Police say the rebels from the Allied Democratic Forces, who have been launching attacks for years from their bases in volatile eastern Congo, carried out the raid late Friday on Lhubiriha Secondary School in the border town of Mpondwe.

Mayor Selevest Mapoze says those killed include 38 students, one guard and two members of the local community who were shot outside the school.
