IS burned 38 school students in Uganda

RELIGIOUS NEWS AGENCY (REDNA) – Forty-two people including 38 school students, were hacked or burned to death at the Mpondwe Lhubiriha Secondary School in western Uganda this weekend.

They could be heard singing Christian gospel songs before screaming broke out. Islamic State militants are blamed for the attack, with ADF forces based in the Democratic Republic of Congo, a short distance from the school.

The minister of education said a petrol bomb was thrown into the school. Some of the girls tried to run away but six are missing, believed to have been kidnapped.
