KAMPALA The Ugandan army on Sunday accused Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) rebels of hacking to death 45 people in a church in northeastern Democratic Republic of Congo.
An aid official speaking to AFP on condition of anonymity confirmed Friday's massacre, saying the killings took place in a Catholic church in the Doruma area, around 40 kilometres (25 miles) from the Sudanese border.
"There are body parts everywhere. Inside the church, the entrance and in the church compound," the aid official said.
"We got information the rebels cut 45 people into pieces," added army spokesman Captain Chris Magezi.
"They were cut with pangas (machetes) and hit with clubs but some luckily managed to escape. Our forces came to know about the killings while pursuing the LRA yesterday (Saturday) and the pursuit is on for the killers."
Magezi said the victims, mostly women, children and the elderly, were mutilated in the style used by Hutu extremists during the 1994 Rwanda genocide.

Where is the UN? Words cannot describe this evil.
What must their day-to-day lives be like? Their days are full of hate and bloodlust. They are monster barbarians. They are definitely not noble savages.
Those poor Congregationalists!
What irritates me is all the secular media that have routinely referred to the LRA as a “Christian” group. It is anything but, but when you are too deliberately stupid to see any difference between Osama bin Laden and Mother Theresa I guess it doesn’t matter much.

We all know on which side of the River Styx these barbarians will be for eternity!
May the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen
