Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni has vowed to crush the militant Somali group al Shabaab groups, which has claimed responsibility for last Sunday’s twin bomb attacks, which killed 74 people in Kampala.
“We are going to go on the offensive and go for all who did this in all areas, starting here,” he said on Wednesday evening.
“We were just in Mogadishu to guard the airport and the presidential palace – that was all. Now they have mobilised us to look for them. We were just doing our small mandate…now we are taking interest. It was a very big mistake on their side,” Mr Museveni told journalists at a news conference at his Ntungamo country home in western Uganda.
The attacks at the Ethiopian Village Restaurant and Kyadondo rugby grounds also injured over 50 people, who had gathered at the venue to watch the World Cup final between Spain and the Netherlands.
Mr Museveni, speaking for the first time since investigations into the attacks got underway, also blamed intelligence failure.
