Uganda's Kampala bombings: Muslim cleric accused of jihadist links shot dead
|
[Garowe] Security forces in Uganda have rubbed out a Moslem holy man accused of working with an gang linked to suicide kabooms in the capital Kampala.
Officials said Sheikh Muhammad Abas Kirevu had recruited for cells run by the Allied Democratic Forces
 ...the ADF is one of several murderous Moslem groups in NE Congo. In 2019 the U.S. Treasury Department imposed sanctions on them for the usual reasons. They don't appear to be affiliated with al-Qaeda or Islamic State, though ISIS claims their work from time to time — they just like killing infidels....
(ADF) - rebels who have pledged allegiance to the Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems....
group.
He was killed just outside Kampala.
At least four people were killed by attackers on cycle of violence s who blew themselves up in the city on Tuesday.
More than 30 others were maimed in the attack, which IS said was behind and officials have blamed on the ADF.
The Islamist bad boy ADF was formed in Uganda in the 1990s but is now based in the Democratic Republic of the Congo
 ...formerly the Congo Free State, Belgian Congo, Zaire, and who knows what else, not to be confused with the Brazzaville Congo aka Republic of Congo , which is much smaller and much more (for Africa) stable. DRC gave the world Patrice Lumumba and Joseph Mobutu, followed by years of tedious civil war. Its principle industry seems to be the production of corpses. With a population of about 74 million it has lots of raw material...
. Since pledging allegiance to IS in 2019, it has increasingly carried out attacks in the group's name.
Twenty-one people have been arrested since Tuesday's attack, in what police have described as the dismantling of ADF terrorist cells in Kampala and across the country.
Police spokesperson Fred Enanga said 13 suspects, including several children, were intercepted while trying to cross the border into DR Congo.
On Wednesday, four suspected ADF operatives were killed near the border.
A manhunt is also underway for another holy man, Sheikh Suleiman Nsubuga, who is accused of training terrorists, radicalising potential recruits, and providing materials to make improvised bombs.
Tuesday's attack was the latest in a number of recent bomb explosions in Kampala.
Last month, a 20-year-old waitress was killed after a device, left in a shopping bag, detonated in a bar in the city. Days later several people were maimed when a jacket wallah went kaboom! in a bus near Kampala. Police say both were linked to the ADF.
The bombings on Tuesday marked the biggest attack the ADF has been linked to in Uganda since establishing relations with IS.
