BANGUI (Reuters) – Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA)
rebels killed a villager and abducted dozens of others during two
weekend raids in a remote diamond-producing area of Central African
Republic, local residents and officials said on Tuesday.
The incidents represent the largest kidnapping by the
Ugandan rebel group – headed by notorious warlord Joseph Kony – in
recent months in the former French colony, which is also reeling from
years of inter-religious bloodshed.
The LRA, known for massacring
and mutilating civilians as well as abducting children to serve as
fighters and sex slaves, raided a mine near the village of Diya, around
600 km (370 miles) east of the capital Bangui, on Saturday.
