US planes to hunt Kony

The United States will deploy military aircraft and more of special forces to hunt down Ugandan rebel leader Joseph Kony, wanted by the International Criminal Court for war crimes.

The US had already deployed 100 troops to help African troops to find him, and will now send another 150 Air Force special forces.

Kony’s Lord’s Resistance Army is accused of committing horrific crimes, and African Union troops are tracking down his forces in the border region of Uganda, South Sudan, DR Congo and the Central African Republic.
