British tourist among 3 dead in Uganda National Park attack

A British tourist is amongst three people killed in a terrorist attack at a national park in south-west Uganda, authorities say. 

The trio were killed in the Queen Elizabeth National Park. Their vehicle was burned. 

Authorities say joint forces were pursuing suspected members of the Allied Democratic Forces (ADF) rebel group on Tuesday night. 

The Uganda Wildlife Authority said the victims were two tourists and a guide.

The tourists were from the UK and South Africa while their guide was Ugandan. 

The ADF is an IS-linked Islamist group which traces its roots to Uganda but operates mainly in the east of the Democratic Republic of Congo.
