British national among three killed in attack at Ugandan national park

A person from Britain who was on vacation was one of three people who died in a “sneaky terrorist attack” at a national park in southwest Uganda, according to officials.

The police in Uganda said that three people were killed and their car was set on fire in the Queen Elizabeth National Park.

It was reported that a group of people were being chased by a team of soldiers and police officers. The group is believed to be members of a rebel organization called the Allied Democratic Forces (ADF). This happened on Tuesday night.

The Uganda Wildlife Authority said that two tourists and a guide were the people who were affected.

The tourists were from the United Kingdom and South Africa. Their guide was from Uganda.

The ADF is a group of Islamist fighters that has connections to the IS. They originally come from Uganda but mainly operate in the eastern part of the Democratic Republic of Congo. The two countries have increased their efforts to target the group more strongly in the past few months.

On Monday, the president of Uganda said that the police stopped a plan to bomb churches in the Butambala district. The plan was allegedly made by ADF militants.

The police spokesperson, Fred Enanga, said on a social media platform called X (formerly known as Twitter) that there was a very scary terrorist attack on two tourists from other countries and one person from Uganda in Queen Elizabeth National Park.

Three people died, and their safari car caught fire.

He said that the police are actively trying to catch the suspected rebels and he also said that we feel very sorry for the families of the people who were hurt or killed.

The police shared a picture of a green car that was on fire.

Bashir Hangi, who speaks for the Uganda Wildlife Authority, said the attack happened on Tuesday night.

The Uganda Wildlife Authority said that all parks are still open. They asked everyone to be patient and let the investigation continue.

The UK Foreign Office has changed its travel advice for the country, saying that the people who attacked are still not caught.

It means: “If you are in the area, you should stay alert and listen to what the local security authorities or your tour guide tell you to do. ”

Ugandan officials have told people to stay in Queen Elizabeth National Park overnight.
