Fourteen tourists, on a safari to see Uganda's forest gorillas, have been kidnapped by Rwandan rebels.
Latest news is that five have been murdered.
FIVE of the foreign tourists kidnapped in south-western Uganda by armed bandits were killed and seven others were rescued, Ugandan police said on Tuesday. Three others in the same group are unaccounted for. The tourists were abducted in the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park at dawn on Monday. The park borders the Democratic Republic of Congo and there have been several reports of border skirmishes between the Ugandan army and Rwandan Hutu rebels during the past two months. Meanwhile, the Britain's Foreign Office said on Tuesday that British diplomats are being dispatched to a remote national park in south-west Uganda to investigate the matter.
