Islamist terrorists on June 16 killed at least 37 students, most of them Christians, at the dormitories of a private high school in Uganda, and kidnapped six others, Morning Star News said.
According to the BBC, the assailants killed the students at Lhubiriha Secondary School in Mpondwe, hacking the girls with machetes and burning the boys to death by setting their dormitory on fire. Five non-students at the school were also killed, Ugandan officials said, and four students were wounded.
Police have reportedly arrested at least three people in the course of ongoing investigations.
The June 16 attack was the latest of many instances of persecution of Christians in Uganda that Morning Star News has documented.
