Ugandan Military Captures Extremist Group Commander Accused in Tourist Attack

Commander known as Njovu linked to the murder of a honeymooning tourist couple captured on the Uganda-Congo border; Uganda continues hunt for further members of the Islamic State-allied ADF.

Ugandan Military has captured Njovu, a senior commander of the extremist group Allied Democratic Forces (ADF), who was involved in the murder of two tourists.
Njovu was apprehended during a firefight on Lake Edward, on the Uganda-Congo border. There were unspecified casualties among the rebels.
The ADF, which is tied to the Islamic State, is believed to have massacred at least 41 people in previous attacks, and is involved in frequent cross-border attacks.
Ugandan forces continue the hunt for remaining ADF members, penetrating deep into Congo territory; they claim to have killed hundreds of ADF rebels in recent airstrikes.
The attacks by the ADF, originating from Uganda but later fleeing to eastern Congo, are often targeted at civilians, though the group does not always claim responsibility for its actions.
