| 2010-07-18 |
| Inspector General of police in Uganda Kale Kayihura has said that about 20 suspects have been arrested in connection with the bomb attacks that killed 76 people watching the World Cup final on television. He said that all those arrested have connections with al Shabaab, and include Ugandans, Somalis, Ethiopians and Pakistani nationals. Al Shabaab, Somalia's most dangerous militant group, claimed responsibility for the attacks. Kayihura on Saturday said that the 20 suspects were being held by Ugandan security as they investigate Sunday's bombing. He said that 37 bomb victims were still receiving treatment in hospitals. Without disclosing the name or nationality, the Kenyan police said they arrested another suspect at a police checkpoint on Wednesday near the Kenya-Somalia border. |
