In news from Africa, UN officials report the Ugandan-based Lord’s Resistance Army has massacred 189 people and kidnapped at least twenty children over three days in northeastern Congo. The New York Times reports the rebels killed scores of people who had sought refuge at a Catholic Church on the day after Christmas. The Lord’s Resistance Army is headed by Joseph Kony who was indicted in 2005 by the International Criminal Court on thirty-three counts of crimes against humanity and war crimes.
