The LRA rebels killed the civilians on their way back to Sudan from Uganda. SPLA spokesman Cyprial Oeiongo revealed this in a special report. He said the rebels attacked the civilians about 7 km inside Sudan from its border with northern Uganda.
"It was horrible, most of the bodies were burned and couldn't be recognized," he said. He said one of 13 wounded had identified the attackers as members of LRA.
LRA rebels have killed tens of thousands of civilians and displaced over 1.4 million people in their 19-year rebellion in northern Uganda.
The International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants in September for Kony and his four deputies for their crimes of murder, torture and mutilation, abduction, sexual violence, forced recruitment and killing.
