Kampala: Ugandan authorities have seized more than a tonne of ivory, chopped into small pieces and treated with a chemical intended to prevent it being detected, the national wildlife protection service said. The haul was made in a suburb, before it could be loaded at Entebbe international airport and flown off to an unknown destination, the authorities said.
