ISLAMIC STATE GROUP CLAIM RESPONSIBILITY FOR SUICIDE BOMBINGS IN KAMPALA

The Islamic State group has claimed responsibility for a twin suicide bombing that happened on Tuesday morning in Kampala, the Ugandan capital.


Eons Intelligence reported that seven persons were killed, 33 injured, 5 critically, from twin explosions that hit Kampala on Tuesday morning.


Sources say one blast happened around 9.20am, near a police Central Police Station around the Parliamentary and another along an Insurance building, Kampala.


The Islamic State group made the claim in a statement on Tuesday night saying three suicide bombers; Abdul Rehman al-Ugandan, Abu Shaheed al-Ugandan, and Abu Sabar al-Ugandan, disguised as bodaboda motorcyclists to perpetrate the attack in the Ugandan capital.


However, Police Spokesman in Uganda, Fred Enanga, said security operatives foiled a third attack by recovering an Improvised Explosive Device (IED) from the home of a suicide bomber who was shot and injured.


The Ugandan police have blamed a “domestic terror group” linked to the Allied Democratic Forces (ADF) for the attacks, an armed force active in neighboring eastern Democratic Republic of Congo.


Police authorities in the country also blamed the group for a foiled bomb attack in August on the funeral of an Army Commander who led a major offensive against Al-Shabaab militants in Somalia.


In April 2019, the Islamic State Group began to claim some ADF attacks on social media, presenting the group as its regional branch — the Islamic State Central Africa Province, or ISCAP.


There have been reports of explosions in the Ugandan capital in recent weeks. One person was killed and at least seven others wounded in an explosion at a restaurant in a suburb of Kampala on Oct. 23.


On October 25, police authorities also reported another explosion on a passenger bus, where only the suicide bomber was killed.
