More Than 100 Die in Uganda Cult Mass Suicide
KAMPALA (Reuters) - More than 100 members of a Ugandan Doomsday cult have set
themselves ablaze in a ritual mass suicide, police said Saturday.
Followers of the obscure ``Ten Commandments of God'' sect gathered in a
church 200 miles southwest of the capital Kampala Friday and set themselves
on fire after several hours of chanting and singing, a police spokesman told
Reuters.
``Prior to this incident their leader told believers to sell off their
possessions and prepare to go to Heaven,'' the spokesman said.
He said there were conflicting reports about how many people died in the fire
but that the death toll was reported to be between 100 and 230.
In September, Ugandan police disbanded another Doomsday cult, the
thousand-member ``World Message Last Warning'' sect.
The cult's leaders were charged with rape, kidnapping and illegal
confinement.
