The only name she can come up with is Joseph Kony’s Ugandan cult group “Lord’s Resistance Army.”
Via CNS News:
People talk a lot about Islamic extremism and ISIS/ISIL (the guys who behead Christians, among others), but what about Joseph Kony and his Lord’s Resistance Army?
“I don’t remember people talking about that as much anymore, but that’s a Christian militant group,” State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf told MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” on Wednesday.
She was making the point that terrorism “is not just a threat in one place” — and it’s not just Islamic:
“If you look at the Lord’s Resistance Army and Kony, Joseph Kony — I don’t remember people talking about that as much anymore, but that’s a Christian militant group. So there are a lot of different extremists threats we face, and there are different tools we have to go after each one of them.”
According to an Associated Press report last November, “Kony’s LRA comprises a few hundred fighters who are being hunted down by African Union troops as well as U.S. advisers.” Kony is wanted by the International Criminal Court for war crimes and crimes against humanity in a “reign of terror” that has spanned more than two decades in Central Africa.

On Wednesday, Harf noted that this week’s White House summit on “countering violent extremism” involves “over 60 countries from around the world who are facing a number of different kinds of extremist threats,” and are coming together to identify “best practices” in identifying potential terrorists and deterring them.
