Uganda LRA rebel leader accused of ordering cannibalism

THE HAGUE: -- International prosecutors at The Hague have accused former Ugandan rebel Dominic Ongwen of ordering his men to kill, cook and eat civilians.


He is the first member of the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) to appear before the International Criminal Court.

Mr Ongwen has been accused of 70 war crimes and crimes against humanity.

His defence is likely to use his past as a former child soldier and kidnap victim as part of a plea for leniency.
