Uganda: Militants Tied to Islamic State Storm School and Murder At Least 41, Ask Muslim Students to Identify Themselves Because They “Don’t Kill Fellow Believers”
A militant group linked to the Islamic State stormed a secondary school in western Uganda on Friday night killing at least 41 and kidnapping others.
Ugandan authorities have recovered the bodies which reportedly includes 38 students. The victims were burned, shot or hacked to death.
During the attack, the gunmen allegedly asked for Muslims to identify themselves so they were not murdered saying that they “do not kill fellow believers.”
According to the BBC, “The Allied Democratic Forces (ADF) – based in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) – have been blamed.”
Mumbere Bright, one of the three students who survived the attack says he hid behind the dead bodies of fellow students to live to see another day.
