Ugandan LRA 'in church massacre' LRA fighters in DR Congo Many LRA fighters are abducted children Uganda's army has accused the Lord's Resistance Army rebels of hacking to death 45 civilians in a Catholic church in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Capt Chris Magezi said it happened the day after Christmas near Doruma, close to the border with South Sudan. He said the scene at the church was "horrendous... dead bodies of mostly women and children cut in pieces". A rebel spokesman has denied responsibility for the killings, which follow a collapse in the peace process. Other reports say more than 100 people were killed. The UN's humanitarian agency, Ocha, says 189 people were killed in the region at the end of last week, reports the Reuters news agency. The armies of Uganda, South Sudan and DR Congo carried out a joint offensive against the rebels in mid-December after LRA leader Joseph Kony again refused to sign a peace deal.
