Ugandan rebels said on Saturday that they had apologized to survivors of the Barlonyo massacre in which their fighters killed some 400 civilians three years ago. Santa Okot of the LRA said the rebels toured the camp in Uganda's Lira district Friday and apologized to widows and orphans of the February 2004 killings. The attack was one of the country's deadliest in years. The visit is part of ongoing consultations by the LRA with the public and leaders in northern Uganda on peace talks with the government.
