Uganda's **torious rebel chief Joseph Kony has named his son as deputy of his Lord's Resistance Army (LRA), a guerrila force infamous for its extreme savagery, the Army said Sunday. Salim Saleh, reported to be aged 22, is understood to have spent his entire life in the bush with his father's force, which continues to defy international efforts to hunt them down. "Previously the son was in charge of the group providing security to the father, but **w he has an added responsibility of field command," top Ugandan general Sam Kavuma told AFP. Long since forced from Uganda, the rebels roam remote forest regions of the Central African Republic, Sudan, South Sudan and the Democratic Republic of Congo.
