Manhunt in Uganda after US tourist and driver kidnapped 1 SHARES Share it! “A joint operation by the Uganda police, Uganda People’s Defence Forces (UPDF) and Uganda Wildlife Authority game wardens are under way to locate and rescue them,” government spokesman Ofwono Opondo said. It is also about 150 kilometers (90 miles) north of Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, famous among tourists for gorilla trekking. The rebels were part of a militia group that was involved in the 1994 Rwandan genocide before fleeing to the jungles of DR Congo. “The security agencies, including the military, are working together to ensure the tourist and the driver are freed unharmed,” Karemire said.
