Scores slain in South Sudan cattle raid


JUBA, South Sudan: Heavily armed rebels have killed more than 100 people including women and children in a cattle raid in South Sudan's troubled Jonglei state, local officials said Sunday.

The people of Walgak in Akobo County were migrating north Friday to the wetlands with cattle "and were being escorted by an army platoon when they came under attack by a huge force using automatic weapons," Jonglei governor Kuol Manyang said.
