Militant attack kills 37 at Ugandan school

Militants linked to the Islamic State group massacred at least 37 people and abducted six others in western Uganda, the army said Saturday, in the country's worst such attack in years.

The military said it was pursuing the attackers from the Allied Democratic Forces (ADF) after they raided a school late Friday near the border of the Democratic Republic of Congo.
