 The Prosecutor General of the International Criminal Court, Luis Moreno-Ocampo, renewed his call for the arrest of LRA leader Joseph Kony and his top commanders.
This was a result of reports that the LRA launched new attacks on civilians in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
The Attorney General's Office said in a statement that the LRA attacked a village in July this year in Yillio, northern Congo and kidnapped a number of school students, and further killed dozens of civilians, including a number of local leaders.
The Attorney General urged all regional and international organizations to support the efforts of the DRC and Uganda in the plan to arrest Kony and his co-workers and to cut-off financial support from these groups.
