At least 62 civilians died in deadly clashes between police and militia allied to a tribal king in Kasese, Uganda. Regional police spokesman Mansur Suwed told Reuters they managed to kill 46 of the royal guards and arrested 139. He said the number of police officers killed rose from 14 to 16 after two officers succumbed to their injuries. He said day-long negotiations between police and the king bore no fruit, as he did not comply, hence he was arrested. Biira, herself a Ugandan, was arrested after giving an eye-witness account of the fighting between the military and the royal guards.
