Oil exploration boat attacked in Uganda

KAMPALA, Uganda – Gunmen attacked an oil exploration boat in western Uganda early Friday, killing one worker, officials said.

The motive for the attack was unclear, army spokesman Maj. Felix Kulayigye said.


“We suspect that the gunmen were soldiers from the Congolese national army, though we have no idea why they would launch such an attack,” Kulayigye said.

In Kinshasa, Congo’s army chief of staff, Lt. Gen. Dieudonne Kayembe, said the military was looking into the allegations.
