From Times Wire Reports
Ugandan troops pursuing the elusive leader of the Lord’s Resistance Army rebels killed 25 fighters in one of their biggest clashes with the guerrillas in weeks, the president said.
Ugandan forces said they were hunting LRA leader Joseph Kony and a small group of followers near a range of hills in southern Sudan, hoping to stamp out a rebellion that has terrorized northern Uganda for much of the last 18 years.
President Yoweri Museveni made no reference to any losses on the army side.
