KAMPALA:
President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni has once again described the suicide bombers in Kampala as pigs.
Museveni said on his Twitter handle that the suspected terrorists whom he called pigs did the acts to confuse the Bazzukulu, ‘Citizens’ by detonating bombs in the central business District.
“Today at 10:00hours, some pigs (in reality manipulated and confused Bazzukulu), apparently, blew themselves up, one near the IGG office and the other near CPS.” Museveni said on Twitter.
In the message, president Museveni identified the suicide bombers at CPS and the IGG office saying that they are part of the Allied Democratic Forces (ADF) that had attempted to assassinate Gen. Katumba in June.
“The bomber of CPS was by the names of Mansoor Uthman and the one of the IGG office is by the names of Wanjusi Abdallah. All these are part of the ADF group that attacked Gen. Katumba in June.”
He revealed that government is working with the neighbors to deal with ADF terrorists operating from outside the country.
He says terrorists have exposed themselves when they are more ready for urban terrorism.
“They will perish. Rural terrorism was defeated in 2007 in the Semliki National Park. I am referring to the dead terrorists as manipulated victims of confusion.”
“As I told the country before, by attacking Gen. Katumba, these terrorists, exposed themselves at a time when our security (anti-crime) infrastructure has improved, compared to what it was in 2018 when I made the speech to Parliament.”
He further highlighted security achievements since the attack of Gen. Katumba and listed names of the suspects arrested and those killed in the attacks.
“Since the attack of Gen. Katumba, Seven (7) have been killed while resisting arrest; – Eighty-one (81) have been arrested; and – 3 have been killed by the bombs they were carrying. The 2 of today were, therefore, running away from being arrested.” he added.
The killed suspects according to Museveni include Nsubuga Mohammed; Manihaji; Moses Mudasiri (the one of today); Master Lubwama; Juma Saidi; Serwadda Juma; and Amin Kawawa Mustapha. The one who blew himself in the bus was Matovu Muzafari.
Museveni has appealed to the public especially parks, churches, mosques and markets to maintain vigilance by checking people at entry points.
He said police will issue guidelines regarding securing the check-points since they protect buildings and the occupants.
