Parliament wants suicide probe (03/23/2000)
The Ugandan parliament has passed a resolution urging the government
to set up a committee to investigate last week's mass suicide of
about 400 members of a Ugandan doomsday cult.
"The resolution was to condemn the perpetrators of this carnage
and to pass condolences to everyone who lost their loves ones,"
Jim Muhwezi, a member of parliament, said late on Tuesday.
"We also urged the government to set up a committee to investigate
and probe this incident and to come up with a report, and also to
investigate the sect and other similar organizations," he added.
