Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni called it a 'cowardly act' and said the attackers would pay with their own lives.
A British man and his wife have been killed in an attack by suspected Islamist rebels while on honeymoon in Uganda. It happened on Tuesday evening on a road in Queen Elizabeth National Park. The man's South African wife and their Ugandan guide were also killed - and their 4x4 vehicle set alight. The national park is a remote area of southwestern Uganda near the border with Congo.
'Of course, these terrorists will pay with their own wretched lives.' Police said they were 'aggressively pursuing' the rebels after 'the three were killed, and their safari vehicle burnt'. The ADF formed in Uganda but has now moved across the border and is accused of multiple attacks on civilians. In June, it was accused of killing at least 41 people - mostly students - in a remote Ugandan community close to the border.
