Uganda school attack: Dozens of pupils killed by militants linked to Islamic State group

Uganda's information minister said 37 students were confirmed to have been killed, but did not give their ages. 

Twenty of them were attacked with machetes and 17 of them burned to death, Chris Baryomunsi told the BBC. 

Survivors said the rebels threw a bomb into the dormitory after the machete attack. It's not clear if this resulted in a fire in the building which was reported earlier.

Six students were also abducted to carry food that the rebels stole from the school's stores, he added. The militants then returned across the border into the DRC. [Democratic Republic of the Congo.]

I don’t know, I don’t want to go where we’re not wanted or invited but if asked I could see freeing up a few fighter jets and BOMBING THE HELL OUT OF THE DRC!
