Kampala City Hit by 3 Bomb Blasts

Some of the bodies at Kyadondo Rugby Grounds
It was the 2010 FIFA Word Cup finals to the rest of the world while the capital city of Uganda, Kampala was being rocked by bomb blasts in three city suburbs leaving over 50 dead.

Ambulances and police patrol cars were busy transporting victims and dead bodies to Mulago hospital. Two bombs went off at about 11:00pm with Kyandondo Rugby Club in Lugogo being the worst hit. The explosions occurred during the half time between Spain and Netherlands.

The other bomb blast was at Ethiopian village in Kabalagala that left at least 13 dead as confirmed by the Inspector General of Police, Major General Kale Kayihura who suspects the Al Shabab were behind this.

There are unconfirmed reports of similar blasts in Ntinda and Bwaise. For Kampala, World Cup end was a disaster because it only left Kampala mourning.Most of the dead were seen still seated on the chairs holding beer bottles.

Bebe Cool, Zuena and UBC's Lauryn were among the survivors of the Kyandondo Rugby bombs.

Details on the Kampala bomb blasts will be provided as they become available.

It is pathetic that apparently there threats of attacks but there wasn't security to check suspicious items. May their souls rest in peace!

If it is true that it is the al shabab,then let us solve this somali problem once and for all. First it was the lawabidding somalis that fell victim of these power hungry somali outlaws,then the neghbouring countries suffered the consequences related to the increasead somali refugee influx,Finally uganda the reace keeper and country of refuge to many has been attacked. that leaves any capable nation with no alternative apart from declaring war on this sand heep.

This is the greatest act of cowardice by anyone purporting to be fighting for peace, or religion...if you fight for peace then do not attack soft civilian targets - go for the armed forces; if you fight for religion, such battles are never fought in the physical but rather in the intellect and spiritual - only when your intellect and spiritual validity is inferior do you resort to acts of intimidation and cowardice such as this one.

Uganda should strengthen its immigration laws,authorities should know who enters the country and who leaves the country...,besides event organizers should strengthen there security , polices should be implimented governing crowded areas in away that sniff dogs should sniff out any suspected items , before a venue is occupied.To those terrorists , its such a cowardice act, besides Uganda is still the pearl of africa far more blessed than that sand heap.

may our dearly departed souls rest in peace.What Uganda is going through from the past history is more of political. Why can't our leaders learn a lesson once? Shall our inocent civilians continue to die because of their leaders actions? we need our brothers from somalia back to uganda instead of facing the angry lions

Posted by aluma john Gulu on 07/15/2010 07:24:18

We are really so sorry for our dear ones.But i will ask the president to go ahead & deploy more troops in somali.Bcoz the say in prov,24:11-12, that don't hestate to rescue some one who is abt to be executed unjustly.You may say taht it is none of yr concern, but God knows &judges yr motives. He keeps watch on you; he knows.And he 'll reward you according to what you do.So our president c'dn't sit down & see innocent somalis dying he had to help, but coz the al-shabab has no genuine reason to kill the innocent ugandans, let them confront the men not to attack the un armed.

anada ugandan has been arrested in south africa,over bom threat,he is in capetown prison known as good wood prison,

Posted by med on 07/21/2010 08:27:04

To even think that our leaders knew but didn't think it safe to warn us to stay away from crowded places and to be careful, but rather protected the parliament...too bad they had to sacrifice innocent people to keep themselves safe...it is a pity. may the souls of the dead rest in peace.
