Congo-based Islamist group stages deadly ambush in Uganda

A rebel group based in Congo and allied to Islamic State killed at least one man and injured another when it ambushed a truck in western Uganda overnight, the army said on Friday, in a relatively rare cross-border attack. The Allied Democratic Forces (ADF) started as a Ugandan insurgency but has operated from the jungles of eastern Democratic Republic of Congo for almost three decades. In 2019 the ADF pledged allegiance to Islamic State, which has since claimed responsibility for a number of the group's bombings and massacres.
