'Multiple challenges in hunt for Ugandan warlord Kony'

Kampala: An advocacy group says the hunt for the African warlord Joseph Kony is hopeless without more troops and urges American forces to “play a more operational role” on the ground.

President Barack Obama roughly a year ago sent 100 US Special Forces troops to help regional governments eliminate Kony, an accused war criminal, and other LRA commanders, but they only play an advisory role. About 2,500 African Union troops led by Uganda are involved in the manhunt. AP
