Uganda: "Militants linked to Islamic State reportedly killed at least 41 people and abducted others in an attack on a school in western Uganda, police have said. Authorities did not say how many people had been abducted by the attackers, members of the rebel group Allied Democratic Forces (ADF) that has pledged allegiance to IS. The assailants attacked Lhubirira secondary school in the western town of Mpondwe late on Friday, near the border with the Democratic Republic of the Congo, police said. Police did not say how many of the dead were schoolchildren.

The ADF rebels launched their insurgency against President Yoweri Museveni in the 1990s from an initial base in the Rwenzori mountains. In April, the ADF attacked a village in eastern DRC, killing at least 20 people."
