Uganda: Seven days of national mourning
Two bomb explosions occurred late Sunday in a rugby club and an Ethiopian restaurant in Kampala, causing a toll death of 78 persons, according to the Uganda Red Cross.
Mr. Museveni, who visited Kyadondo Rugby Club, east of the capital, Mulago Hospital and the Kampala International Hospital, qualified the bombing, conducted by terrorists, as coward and irresponsible.
The Kampala twin bombings is the deadliest one committed in East Africa since the suicide attacks by Al-Qaeda in August 7, 1998, against the U.S. embassies in Nairobi and Dar Es-Salaam, where more than 200 persons were killed.
The Islamist group, Al Shebab formally claimed the two bombing, late on Monday. “It was a defensive measure, said their spokesman, Ali Mahmoud Rage against the presence of Ugandans in our country and who kills our people. It was a legitimate retaliation for their actions”.
Radical Somali groups have repeatedly called the governments of Uganda and Burundi not to send troops to the peace keeping force in Somalia, threatening to carry out attacks against civilians in their respective capitals.
