U.S. offers up to $5 million reward for Uganda warlord Kony, others


WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. State Department said on Wednesday it will offer a reward of up to $5 million (3.3 million pounds) for information leading to the arrest, transfer or conviction fugitive warlord Joseph Kony and some of his top aides.

Kony, who has been accused of terrorizing northern Uganda for 20 years, is wanted by the International Criminal Court for war crimes. His guerrillas are accused of abducting children to use as fighters and sex slaves, and of hacking off victims' limbs as a method of intimidation and revenge.
