A gunman suspected of having ties to anti-government rebels seized a Uganda Airlines plane on a domestic flight with 49 people aboard and forced the pilot to land in rebel-controlled territory, officials said. A man claiming to represent the National Resistance Army telephoned the British Broadcasting Corp. offices in Nairobi and said the twin-engine plane was seized because Uganda Airlines is “used to ferry military personnel.”
