Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>President Yoweri Museveni has tasked Uganda Peoples Defence Force (UPDF) to involve the local police and civilians in the hunt for ADF terrorists who killed two foreign tourists and their Ugandan driver before they set their van a blaze on Tuesday evening.<\/b><\/p>\n

President Museveni said that the hunt for the group of five people [terrorists] that burnt a cargo lorry in Kasese and killed tourists in Queen Elizabeth National Park is still ongoing in the area to the left of Bweera- Kikoroongo Road.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe UPDF should involve the Police and the Wanainchi [civilians] to hunt for these groups, running from Congo,\u201d Gen Museveni said on October 21 via X (formerly Twitter) post.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey are no longer a military problem,. They are; police, popular vigilance and anti-terrorism efforts. We are destroying their base in Congo,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday, the UPDF embarked on a shoot to kill hunt for the terrorists who killed a newly wed tourist couple at Queen Elizabeth National Park. President Museveni termed the killing a \u2018cowardly act\u2019 before he vowed to make the assailants pay with their own ‘wretched lives.’<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the President also lauded the UPDF for a successful attack on the ADF terrorist base in Congo in which one of their major camps was destroyed.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is to inform you that today, October 21, 2023, we paid a serious visit to the ADF terrorists in Congo. Our gunships attacked a big camp of these criminals, 60kms from the border, Ntoroko side. The attack was devastating because it was a clear target and the reconnaissance plane was monitoring from the air,\u201d Gen Museveni posted on his X (formerly Twitter) handle on Saturday.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe salute H.E Tshisekedi [President of DR Congo] for agreeing to work with us to uproot these criminals,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
