ANDRIA HALL, CNN ANCHOR: We begin with new details emerging from the site of what appears to be a mass murder-suicide in Uganda. At least 150 members of the Ten Commandments of God religious sect are dead. By one account, they entered a church on Friday, nailed the doors and windows shut, and set themselves on fire. CNN's Catherine Bond is in Uganda, and she joins us now over the telephone with the very latest from there -- Catherine.</s>CATHERINE BOND, CNN CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): At the site in Kanunga, it seems that villagers and police were a little skeptical that all the people who entered the church much could have wanted to volunteer to die. They actually felt that a number of the followers of the sect were unaware of what was going to happen and that it was perhaps the fault of the leaders for luring people into the church. This is particularly true of the children, because there are a number of children who died in the fire, and it seems extremely unlikely that small children would know or commit themselves to the idea of a ritual suicide. There is an element of doubt. They think it's a mixture of suicide and of murder, in fact, mass murder, by those leaders who wanted to take other followers along of the sect along with them. This had been a sect that had been living quietly and nonviolently, in fact, almost a decade, so it comes as something of a shock to the local area. I'm Catherine Bond in Entebbe, Uganda.
