    The attacks targeted those who were watching world cup finals last night. Two bombs went off at Ethiopian village restaurant in Kabalagala and two others at Logogo Rugby Club during the second half of the match.

    Uganda’s police chief Major General Kale Kaihura blames the attack on the Somalis Al-Shabaab militants who in the past have threatened to attack Uganda.

    Meanwhile, Uganda’s President Yoweri Museveni is vowing to bring to book all those that carried out the bombings. Museveni was this morning inspecting the scenes of bomb blasts.
