Suicide bombers have targeted the Ugandan capital Kampala, killing at least three people and injuring more than 30 others.
Three attackers on motorbikes blew themselves up near parliament and the city’s police headquarters. The number of dead is likely to rise, with blasts leaving body parts strewn in the streets. Officials blamed the attacks on the Allied Democratic Forces (ADF), an armed group based in the DR Congo. The group has not yet commented.
Army spokeswoman, Brig Gen Flavia Byekwaso stated, “The terrorists keep on changing tactics and now they have graduated to suicide bombings.” The attacks came three minutes of each other. More bombs have been found in other parts of the city. Fred Enanga, police spokesman, stated, “The bomb threats are still active, especially from suicide attacks. We believe there are still more members of these domestic terror cells, especially the suicide bomb squad that has been created by the ADF.” A fourth attacker has been arrested and an explosive vest recovered.
