IS claims responsibility for murder of 2 Brits, a national in Uganda

A Ugandan national and two foreign tourists were killed in an attack by suspected Islamist rebels from the Allied Democratic Forces (ADF) in a national park, the police said on Tuesday.

 Islamic State claimed responsibility for an attack in Uganda that killed a Ugandan and two foreign tourists on Tuesday, the group's telegram channel said on Wednesday.

Uganda President Yoweri Museveni vowed on Wednesday that Ugandan forces would track down those responsible for the deaths of a safari guide and two foreign tourists who were honeymooning in a national park.

The police did not give a precise location for the attack. The national park's western boundary is the shore of Lake Edward, which separates Uganda from Congo.
