Rain mars
KAMPALA — A visit by thousands of students to the Uganda International Trade Fair on Thursday was disrupted by the afternoon downpour. The heavy shower denied the students the much-anticipated fun as it pelted down and dampened the mood, causing sections of the Uganda Manufacturers Association show grounds, the venue of the exhibition, to flood. Many students had just paid and gained entry to the grounds when the rain started.
LRA hit
PADER — The army repulsed an attempted attack on Pader town IDP camp by LRA rebels, killing two and sending others into disarray on Wednesday, military sources said. The UPDF 5th Division spokesman, Lt. Tabaro Kiconco, said the rebels had deployed heavily in Adilang and Patongo, where the rebels have a sickbay.
Man charged
KABAROLE — A 64-year-old man has been committed to the High court on charges of defilement by Fort Portal grade two magistrate Godfrey Bindeeba. Kagwa Kyomudoro, of Kyamuhinga village, Mahyoro sub-county, Kamwenge district, is alleged to have had sexual intercourse with a 12-year-old of the same area on January 11, 2005.
Cholera hits
MUKONO — Cholera has hit the district, killing three members of the same family. The dead were identified as Kaloli Minani, a traditional healer and a resident of Buntaba village, his son Emma Minani and daughter Namukasa. The district director for health services, Dr. Elly Tumu-shabe, told journalists at his office on Thursday that Minani infected the family with the disease.
Lady elected

Hajji Muhammad Miiro Kironde was elected vice-chairman, while Frank Bukenya, Serestino Byarugaba and Hajji Miiro were elected general secretary, publicity secretary and finance respectively.
