William Masvinhu once again received the title of the ugliest man in Harare on Friday night at the City Sports Bar.
Speaking to journalists about the preparation process he went for the contests, Masvinu said no preparation was needed because it all came naturally for him.
“My ugliness comes naturally to me and although I did a bit to prepare for the show, I let them do the rest,” the winner said.
“A bit of choreography together with his funny clothing helped him on
stage but it was all minimum effort,” his manager, Michael Gundo, said.

Hernandez denies Gerrard
It may not have lived up to Sir Alex Ferguson's billing as the
greatest match-up in English football but Liverpool's 1-1 draw at home
to Manchester United was typically not without incident.
• Jolly: Ferguson shuffles his pack at Anfield Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard was denied a dream return to the starting line-up when his free-kick midway through the second half was cancelled out by substitute Javier Hernandez's late header.The England international put seven months of rehabilitation behind him after a groin operation in March by capping an assured performance in midfield with the goal which looked like extending his side's home dominance over their arch-rivals.
However, Hernandez prevented a fourth successive United defeat at Anfield - which has not happened since 1979 - to maintain his team's unbeaten record this season.
It also denied Liverpool a happier anniversary than the one they were enjoying after marking the 12 months to the day since they were bought by Americans Fenway Sports Group.
Wayne Rooney's demotion to the bench summed up his miserable week after his England sending-off and subsequent three-match ban for Euro 2012, which was the talking point before kick-off.
Once the match kicked off there were plenty of others - mainly in the second half - with Rio Ferdinand's disputed foul on Charlie Adam which could have resulted in the defender seeing red and United goalkeeper David de Gea's impressive performance just two.
The first half was essentially about trying to establish a grip on the game and although Liverpool had the better of that scrap early on United had done enough to restore the balance by the interval.
Both sides had chances to open the scoring with Phil Jones, playing in midfield, heading Patrice Evra's deep left-wing cross into the side-netting when he should have done better.
A similar accusation could have been levelled at Luis Suarez, who looked like he would give Rio Ferdinand a torrid time after their opening exchanges but found the United defender a worthy opponent as the half drew on.
The Uruguay international found himself with only David de Gea to beat when Charlie Adam's 34th-minute shot kindly rebounded off Jonny Evans but the striker shot straight at the goalkeeper who parried the ball to safety.
Gerrard found the midfield a little too crowded for his liking and rarely got the space or opportunity to have much impact.
Early in the second half Ashley Young's 25-yard free-kick briefly had Jose Reina scrambling to claim at the second attempt but the tide was gradually turning in favour of the hosts.
They felt they should have had a penalty when Dirk Kuyt's header struck the arm of Evans. And when Ferdinand, who had been booked for an earlier foul on Suarez, tripped a charging Adam with the slightest of touches as he threatened to break into the penalty area, the Liverpool fans were convinced he should have been sent off.
Gerrard, however, exacted a greater punishment when he curled home a low shot from the resulting 25-yard free-kick after Ryan Giggs left a space in the wall.
Rooney and Nani were immediately sent on, with the latter blazing a shot well over, before fellow substitute Hernandez was introduced for the final 15 minutes.
And he made his mark within six minutes of coming on as Danny Welbeck flicked on a left-wing cross and the youngster headed home unmarked at the far post.
But United were indebted to De Gea, who has come in for a fair amount of criticism in his maiden season, as the Spaniard threw himself to his left to deny Dirk Kuyt.
He was in action again in injury time when he acrobatically tipped over a shot from Henderson, with the Liverpool midfielder also having a chance to win it even later only his header from Stewart Downing's cross dropping onto the roof of the net.

Arsenal signs KAKA from Madrid
The Rumour Mill can't help but feel how much easier it's job would be if more footballers used the medium of Twitter to keep us apprised of imminent moves, while tacitly pleading with other clubs to make them a better offer before they put pen to paper. While on his way to conduct transfer talks with QPR yesterday, Joey Barton used the popular social networking forum to keep his followers, current employers and – most importantly – any more glamourous prospective bosses to let us know that he was "Going for a medical now, still no contract offer from NUFC......think that just about makes my mind up."
Short of tweeting "Help me, please! I don't wanna go to QPR!", it's difficult to imagine how Joey could have made his feelings about his imminent move more clear, although he went some way towards trying to do exactly that soon afterwards, presumably after his initial plea for either the offer of a new deal from Newcastle or overtures from alternative suitors fell on deaf ears.
"Don't want to leave Newcastle....I've made that clear but my hands are tied," he tweeted, the 140-character limit presumably precluding him from adding that he still has a year left on his deal with the Magpies and could quite easily stay there till season's end, even if the offer of a three-year deal from QPR offers him more financial security.
At the time of writing, Barton had conducted his medical and agreed terms with Neil Warnock's side, but has yet to put pen to paper, presumably in the forlorn hope that his Direct Message inbox will be flooded with better offers from some of Europe's biggest clubs offering a last-minute reprieve when he wakes up this morning. We await developments with interest.
Having shown up selected members of football writing's finest for the know-nothing buffoons they are last night, Arsène Wenger will continue to go about the private business of strengthening his Arsenal squad ahead of the Champions League campaign quite a few two-faced hacks hoped his team wouldn't qualify for, if only because it would make for a better story.
Despite having spent 15 years in England, Wenger still hasn't learned or – one would hope – doesn't care that the best way for football managers working in north London to get the press on side is to offer them garrulous cheeky-chappy soundbites while feeding them a steady drip-feed of information of questionable veracity. That way, you can spend money hand over fist (while simultaneously turning your nose up at signing Luis Suárez) only to see your team slump to extraordinary levels of goal-shy mediocrity without fear of media criticism of any kind.
Anyway, according to the Daily Mail, Wenger has had a loan deal for Real Madrid striker Ricky Kaká rejected, and must now bide his time to see if the Spanish side change their minds or agree to sell the Brazilian who they continue to sublet from Jesus. Arsenal also remain interested in taking centre-back Raúl Albiol from Real, playmaker Eden Hazard from Lille and striker Mauro Zárate from Lazio.
Bobby Zamora won't have a monopoly on having his name incorporated into terrace chants adapted from Dean Martin classics featuring the moon hitting your eye like a big pizza pie if Martin Jol is successful in his attempts to bring Brazilian-born Italy and Juventus striker Amauri to Craven Cottage. Elsewhere in Italy, a queue of unmarked vans containing sinister, besuited representatives from Newcastle, Liverpool, Arsenal and Manchester City are parked outside Inter full-back Davide Santon's house ... listening, while Parma midfielder Danilo Pereira is attracting come-hither glances from Liverpool and Arsenal, while his Roma counterpart Daniele De Rossi could be the next high-profile superstar to suffer the excruciating embarrassment of being ushered into Manchester City suit Garry Cook's office, to be greeted with a ghetto-tastic handshake and the words: "How are you brother?"
And having failed to pull up any trees during a resolutely unsuccessful spell at Tottenham Hotspur, Ajax's Moroccan striker Mounir El Hamdaoui, could be off to Blackburn, where early-season performances suggest a similar lack of application could earn him plenty of votes as the fans' player of the season.

Arsenal's tough start continues with Man United
LONDON: Arsenal follows its most important match of the season with what could be its toughest match of the season -- a visit to defending Premier League champion Manchester United.
The Gunners improved on their poor start to the domestic campaign to qualify for the Champions League with Wednesday's 2-1 win at Udinese, but Sunday's game at Old Trafford will require yet another improvement in quality.
Criticism of Arsenal and manager Arsene Wenger by fans and commentators started over the off-season with the sale of Cesc Fabregas and failure to strengthen the squad.
It intensified with a start to the season that featured a 0-0 draw with Newcastle, a 2-0 defeat to Liverpool and two red cards, but reaching the lucrative Champions League should have at least bought a little breathing space.
"Some people questioned our mental strength, but if you look at the game that's what we showed," Arsenal captain Robin van Persie said. "Now it's up to us to show that every three or four days. We have to do that over and over again, that's just football.
"We can't live off this night for the rest of the month or the rest of the year. Now I'm looking forward to Manchester United."
But Arsenal has lost seven and drawn one of its last eight visits to United, which is in form and shares the early season lead after Monday's 3-0 dismantling of Tottenham.
Co-leader Manchester City is at Tottenham in another of Sunday's four games, while Saturday's program includes Chelsea vs. Norwich and Liverpool vs. Bolton.
Arsenal's poor start threatened to become truly calamitous when Antonio Di Natale's first-half header pulled Udinese level on aggregate in the Champions League playoff. But Van Persie and Theo Walcott scored and Wojciech Szczesny saved a penalty to take Arsenal through.
"We have been a little bit under pressure and for us not to play the Champions League and with the players who left, that pressure would've increased, understandably," Wenger said. "Since the beginning of the season, I feel a very strong, determined attitude within the team."
That attitude will be needed against United. Arsenal has regularly dominated the teams' meetings in recent seasons before failing to take advantage of possession and opportunities against the older, more experienced United side.
But with Paul Scholes retired and other players injured, United has relied on youth so far this season.
Striker Danny Welbeck, midfielder Tom Cleverley and defender Phil Jones all played against Spurs. The trio has an average age of 20 and could keep their places against the Gunners.
Arsenal will be without Samir Nasri after selling him to City, and the France midfielder could make his debut against Tottenham.
"It was a long negotiation and discussion between the two clubs," Nasri said. "I was a little bit frustrated. I said to the manager I wanted to leave. I wanted to do the preseason with Manchester so I could know a little bit more about my teammates.
"It was frustrating but it is a new start and I am looking forward to doing it."
Nasri scored 15 goals last season, including four in three games against Tottenham.
Spurs face losing their opening two matches for the first time since 2008, when Juande Ramos was fired as coach and replaced by current manager Harry Redknapp.
Also Sunday, West Brom hosts Stoke and Fulham is at Newcastle.
On Saturday, it's Aston Villa vs. Wolverhampton Wanderers, Blackburn vs. Everton, Chelsea vs. Norwich, Liverpool vs. Bolton, Swansea vs. Sunderland and Wigan vs. Queens Park Rangers.
Wolves are tied on six points with United and City after winning their opening two matches. Steve Bull was still leading Wolves' attack when the club last won its opening two league fixtures -- and that was in the second tier.
In the second-tier League Championship, co-leaders Southampton and Derby play Leicester and Burnley respectively.

Obama Urges Voters to Scold Republicans
White House Memo
http://www.nytimes.com/2011/08/12/us/politics/12obama.html
Doug Mills/The New York Times
President Obama toured a battery-maker in Holland, Mich., where he expressed exasperation with Congressional Republicans.
By HELENE COOPER
Published: August 11, 2011
HOLLAND, Mich. — In the seven days since Standard & Poor’s downgraded the country’s credit rating, political observers and frustrated Americans alike have asked this same question: Why doesn’t President Obama haul lawmakers back to Washington to deal with the worsening economic woes?
Blogs
Rather, the president said, echoing what his aides have been saying privately for days, “What I figure is, they need to spend more time out here, listening to you, and hearing how fed up you are.”
It is a sign, perhaps, of the White House’s desperate search for a way forward that Mr. Obama is hoping that American voters — who are deeply disgusted with Congress, but not exactly thrilled with him either, according to recent polls — will somehow rise en masse and make their representatives see the error of their ways.
“If they’re listening hard enough,” he said, “maybe they’ll come back ready to compromise, ready to do what you sent them there to do.”
That may be a tall order. Even before Air Force One had left the Washington area on Thursday morning to ferry Mr. Obama here to talk about better fuel efficiency and how his auto bailout had saved the country’s car and truck industry, House Republicans were criticizing his trip.
The office of the House majority leader, Eric Cantor of Virginia, put out this statement:
“While the goal of promoting more fuel-efficient vehicles is laudable, such costly new regulations will only create more obstacles to growth and make it harder for working families and small businesses. With 10.5 percent unemployment in the Great Lakes State, the president should explain to people of Michigan how his calls for tax increases and new regulations will create jobs or spur economic growth.”
And, lest anyone think that Republicans were having any second thoughts after Mr. Obama spoke, Speaker John A. Boehner, Republican of Ohio, lobbed this statement: “President Obama likes to talk about being ‘the adult in the room’—but there’s nothing ‘adult’ about political grandstanding. If the president wants to do something productive, he can start by delivering on his promise to outline his own recommendations to rein in the massive deficits and debt that are undermining job creation in our country.”
For Mr. Obama, Thursday’s trip, coming at perhaps the lowest point in his presidency, was a chance to try to regain his footing and present himself as an assured leader with programs and proposals that will help put the American economy back on track and make the country more competitive globally.
But Mr. Obama spent most of his remarks assailing the Congressional Republicans who have knocked down most of his proposals. At times, the president sounded angry, noteworthy since he is famous for rarely losing his cool. He called the credit downgrade “a self-inflicted wound,” and added: “That’s why people are frustrated. You can hear it in my voice; that’s why I’m frustrated.”
“There’s nothing wrong with our country,” Mr. Obama said, speaking at Johnson Controls, a maker of battery systems. “There’s something wrong with our politics.”
Mr. Obama characterized the last few months in Washington as the “worst kind of partisanship, the worst kind of gridlock,” which he said had “made things worse instead of better.”
He reiterated his calls for an extension of the payroll tax cut, and for a road construction bill, intended to get workers back on the job on infrastructure projects. Of course, those ideas would need Congressional approval.
After Michigan, Mr. Obama headed to New York to attend two Democratic fund-raisers to bring in money for the 2012 elections. That leg of his trip coincided with the Republican presidential debate in Iowa on Thursday night.
The White House press secretary, Jay Carney, speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One en route to Michigan, said he was curious “whether anyone participating in the debate tonight will have any concrete proposals.”
White House officials seemed visibly happy to get out of Washington on Thursday; and they can look forward to the president’s two-day bus tour in the Midwest next week, and another chance to listen to people who do not work on Capitol Hill.

Museveni declares war on al Shabaab
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.
“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.

Mr Museveni, speaking for the first time since investigations into the attacks got underway, also blamed intelligence failure.
Kenya arrests over 100 illegal Somalis
(AFP) – 3 hours ago
NAIROBI — Kenyan police arrested more than 100 Somalis in an overnight crackdown in the capital Nairobi on illegal immigrants, an official said Friday.
The operation was conducted in the wake of bombings in neighbouring Uganda that killed at least 73 people and were claimed by Somalia's Al Qaeda-linked Shebab rebels but police refused to link the raid to the Kampala blasts.
"We have intensified a crackdown on all aliens. We arrested 102 Somalis last night and the crackdown is going on," Nairobi province police officer Anthony Kibuchi said.
"This crackdown will be carried out in all the estates and it will continue. It is not something we are going to stop any time soon," he said, adding the individuals would appear in court on Friday.
Two Nairobi districts, one of which is dominated by Kenyans of Somali origin and Somali refugees, were targeted in Thursday night's operation.
At least 30 Ethiopians were also rounded up during a similar police swoop in Nairobi on Wednesday night.
Earlier this week, the army said it had intensified security along the country's porous border with Somalia, with truckloads of troops deployed there following Sunday's explosions in Kampala.
The blasts that tore through a crowd watching the World Cup final were the deadliest in the region since the Al Qaeda-claimed bombings of US embassies in Nairobi and Dar es Salaam in 1998.

Iran scientist Shahram Amiri free to leave, US insists
The US insists that an Iranian nuclear scientist who has turned up in the country is there voluntarily and is free to leave. 
The state department rejected claims by Tehran that Shahram Amiri, who surfaced at a Pakistani embassy building, had been abducted by US agents.
Mr Amiri vanished more than a year ago.
In June, three videos apparently showing him - and containing contradictory information on his whereabouts - emerged.

PJ Crowley State department spokesman Profile: Shahram Amiri Timeline: Shahram Amiri mysteryHe has been in the United States of his own free will and obviously he is free to go
He said in the first that he had been kidnapped by US and Saudi agents, in the second that he was living freely in Arizona, and in the third that he had escaped from his captors.
On Monday evening, he arrived at the Iranian Interests Section of the Pakistani embassy in Washington, which handles Iranian affairs in the US capital.
Iranian media say Mr Amiri had worked as a researcher at a university in Tehran, but some reports say he worked for the country's atomic energy organisation and had in-depth knowledge of its controversial nuclear programme.
Analysis
Continue reading the main story There is very little to suggest that 2209 Wisconsin Avenue in Washington is home to employees of the Islamic Republic of Iran.
The Iranian Interests Section is on the ground floor of an anonymous office block and displays no flags or symbols.
A crowd of journalists is near the front door. A man tells me he's Iranian and asks what's going on. I tell him that a controversial Iranian scientist is inside - and may be heading back to Iran. "He's crazy," the bystander concludes.
At the time of his disappearance, he was thought to be on a pilgrimage to Saudi Arabia.
US TV network ABC reported in March that he had defected and was helping the CIA by revealing valuable information about the Iranian nuclear programme.
But earlier this month, Tehran said it had proof that Mr Amiri was being held in the US.
'His alone'State department spokesman PJ Crowley said: "He has been in the United States of his own free will and obviously he is free to go.
"In fact, he was scheduled to travel to Iran yesterday, but was unable to make all of the necessary arrangements to reach Iran through transit countries."
There are no direct flights from the US to Iran and the two countries have no diplomatic ties.
Mr Crowley added that Mr Amiri had informed American authorities that he wished to leave the US - which seems to confirm that American officials have been in touch with him.
Iranian Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki told reporters at a news conference that Mr Amiri had been kidnapped during the Hajj pilgrimage to Mecca and taken to the US against his will.
He said Mr Amiri should be allowed to return home "without any obstacle".
US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said Mr Amiri was free to go, and highlighted the case of three young Americans held by Iran since July 2009 and accused of illegally entering the country.
Hillary Clinton: "He is free to go, in fact he was scheduled to return to Iran yesterday"
"These are decisions that are his alone to make," she said.
"In contrast, Iran continues to hold three young Americans against their will, and we reiterate our request that they be released and allowed to return to their families on a humanitarian basis."
Mrs Clinton also mentioned the case of Robert Levinson, a former FBI agent who disappeared in Iran in 2007.

US trade deficit at 18-month high
The US trade deficit widened to its highest level in 18 months in May, driven by demand for imported cars, computers and clothing.
The deficit increased by 4.8% to $42.3bn - the largest since November 2008, Commerce Department data showed.
The 2.9% rise in imports outpaced the 2.4% climb in exports.
US manufacturing has benefited from the global economic recovery, but some fear that problems in Europe will hurt sales in the future.
Debt troubles in the eurozone have also caused the value of the euro to weaken against the dollar this year - making US-made goods less competitive in the 16 nations using the euro.

Microsoft announces Windows tablet PC plans
Tablet devices which run the Windows 7 operating system will launch in the coming months, according to Microsoft chief executive Steve Ballmer.
Asus, Dell, Samsung, Toshiba, and Sony are among the manufacturers working on Windows slate PCs, he told delegates at a company conference.
Mr Ballmer said the area was "terribly important" to Microsoft, but did not mention any specific release dates.
Apple's iPad touch-screen device sold 3 million units within 80 days of launch.
"This year, one of the most important things that we will do in the smart device category is really push forward with Windows 7-based slates," Mr Ballmer said at the firm's annual World Partner Conference.
The devices will come in various forms, some dockable and some with keyboards, he added.

BP's Strategy to Limit Liability in Regard to Its Gulf Oil Gusher
tal Amount of Oil Released to Date: 4,455,000 barrels
Amount of Oil Recovered by BP to Date (via Containment Cap): 771,100 barrels
Oily Water Recovered: 694,286 barrels of oily water = 69,429 barrels of oil
Oil Consumed by Controlled Burns: 237,857 barrels
Total Amount of Unrecovered Oil in Gulf of Mexico to Date: 3,376,614 barrels
Amount of Oil Recovered by BP to Date (via Containment Cap): 771,100 barrels
Oily Water Recovered: 694,286 barrels of oily water = 69,429 barrels of oil
Oil Consumed by Controlled Burns: 237,857 barrels
Total Amount of Unrecovered Oil in Gulf of Mexico to Date: 3,376,614 barrels
Under the Clean Water Act (CWA), BP faces fines of up to $4,300 for each barrel spilled. Furthermore, pursuant to Section 2702 of the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 (OPA 90), BP may be required to pay royalties (18.75%) owed to the federal government for the oil gushing from the well.
BP owns 65 percent of the Deepwater Horizon well, Anadarko owns 25 percent, and Mitsui owns 10 percent. Under OPA 90, responsible parties and guarantors are jointly and severally liable for the costs incurred. In this incident, BP has been named the responsible party. Pursuant to OPA 90, a "responsible party" means, in the case of an offshore facility, the lessee or permittee of the area in which the facility is located. Under the definition of responsible party in OPA 90, the fact that Anadarko and Mitsui are also "lessees," may relate to the potential liability of Anadarko and Mitsui. However, the role of Anadarko and Mitsui as solely financial partners rather than operators of the well is a key issue. Passive investors like Anadarko and Mitsui would normally be required to pay their pro rata share of liability unless it is possible to prove gross negligence on the part of BP.

Obama-led US has 'better relations' abroad
WASHINGTON - The United States has better relations with almost every nation on the planet thanks to President Barack Obama's foreign policy "outreach," his spokesman said on Sunday.
The bullish claim came in an interview in which White House spokesman Robert Gibbs fiercely defended Mr Obama against accusations he has failed to reform US foreign policy from the damaging era of his predecessor George W Bush.
"We have better relationships with virtually every country in the world as a result of the president's foreign policy outreach," Mr Gibbs hit back. "There's no doubt that we have taken foreign policy in a different direction."
NBC interviewer David Gregory listed several points - the failure to close Guantanamo, the Afghan war escalation, an expected U-turn on plans to give chief 9/11 suspect Khalid Sheikh Mohammed a civilian trial, and the same old sanctions strategy on Iran and North Korea - as examples of Mr Obama's stalled foreign policy reforms.
Mr Gibbs said this was "oversimplified" logic, noting how Mr Obama managed to win backing from Russia and China for tougher sanctions against Iran.
A Pew survey of 24,000 people in 22 nations published last month showed a largely favourable view of the US for a second year, in sharp contrast to perceptions of America under Mr Bush.
When asked whether the US President would "do the right thing" in world affairs, 87 per cent in France, 90 per cent in Germany and 84 per cent in Britain expressed confidence in Mr Obama.
Meanwhile, Mr Obama will unveil tomorrow a new national strategy to curb the Aids epidemic by slashing the number of new infections and increasing the number of people who get care and treatment.
"Annual Aids deaths have declined, but the number of new infections has been static and the number of people living with HIV is growing," says a final draft of the report.
The administration plans to reduce the annual number of new HIV infections by 25 per cent within five years. "Approximately 56,000 people become infected each year, and more than 1.1 million Americans are living with HIV," the report says.
The report does not propose a major increase in federal spending.
The government now spends over US$19 billion ($26.25 billion) a year on domestic Aids programmes.
The report says tens of thousands of people with the virus are not receiving any care. Also, far too many people infected with HIV are unaware of their status and may unknowingly transmit the virus to their partners. Agencies

In Attack, al Qaeda-Linked Somali Group Expands Reach
WASHINGTON—In claiming responsibility for Sunday's deadly bombings in Uganda, the Somali group al Shabaab appeared to raise its sights from running large swaths of one of Africa's most lawless countries to embracing al Qaeda's call for global jihad.
The triple bombing in Kampala, which left 76 dead, would mark the first foray beyond war-torn Somalia by a group whose primary focus for years was to impose a radical Islamist agenda inside Somalia. The attacks show what Africa and terror experts say is the growing influence in the group of foreign fighters with ties to Osama bin Laden's global terror network.
Bomb Blasts Hit Uganda

![[SB10001424052748704288204575362583307148478]](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/blogger_img_proxy/AEn0k_tyiC62JAUFuDis14rh0ra54A3qnWb4qBznuVmHc0hBKZCmqTf6GYr-6UDvdy0fpcYzfg8S8FIKMdNtSrEnLPL9svAHryB90S54GDFIT2zcWcoXdnCZWyHa2ZlEp5fu_s3OjixNJWb7RGAIlPpj64q6=s0-d)
People carried an injured man upon his arrival at Mulago Hospital, Monday.
Al Shabaab was formally created in about 2003 as a successor movement to violent Islamist groups that had been crushed in the late 1990s. It is now the target of an offensive by Somalia's elected government, which controls a sliver of Somalia's capital.
In recent years, al Shabaab has claimed to have moved closer to al Qaeda. In late 2008, al Shabaab leaders pledged fealty to Mr. bin Laden. Early the next year, al Qaeda welcomed al Shabaab to its global fight. Earlier this year, al Shabaab announced it was formally linking its local fight to al Qaeda's global jihad.
"The links between al Qaeda and al Shabaab are stronger," said David Shinn, the former U.S. ambassador to Ethiopia and an expert on al Shabaab. He and a U.S. counterterrorism expert said the two groups work together to train operatives.
Al Shabaab's force numbers a few thousand fighters, by some estimates, to more than 10,000. A contingent of foreign fighters is said to number a few hundred and include other Africans, Arabs and even Westerners.
In late 2008, a score of Somali-Americans left Minnesota to join al Shabaab. Last month, two men were arrested at JFK International Airport allegedly on their way to join the Somali group. One of al Shabaab's top commanders, known as Abu Mansoor al-Amriki, is from Alabama.
Top commanders have spent time in Afghanistan and Pakistan, says Rashid Abdi, Horn of Africa analyst in Nairobi for the International Crisis Group. "What al Shabaab has become is a multinational terror network, like al Qaeda if not al Qaeda," he says.
Analysts say two factions have emerged within the group. One wants to stay focused on bringing down the government, a goal for which they'll need to retain some support among Somalia's population. Those aligned with al Qaeda don't share those priorities, says Anneli Botha, a senior researcher on terrorism at the Institute for Security Studies, a think tank based in Pretoria.
Three bombs hit Uganda's capital, killing at least 64 people, in an attack targeting crowds watching the World Cup final match. Peter Wonacott discusses. Also, Jacob Schlesinger reports from Japan about the fallout from Sunday's elections, in which the ruling DPJ party lost critical support.
But to some extent there is an alignment of goals between Somali nationalists with an eye on regional expansion and jihadists eager to strike out at perceived regional enemies that include Christians, other Muslims, moderate politicians and supporters of Somalia's interim government.
In recent months, al Shabaab had threatened countries, including Uganda, that contribute peacekeeping troops in support of the Somali transitional government. The U.S. is the major backer of the African peacekeeping troops.
"This is really an unpleasant confluence of goals between the nationalist and international wing of al Shabaab," said Roger Middleton, a Somalia analyst at London-based think tank Chatham House.
"Regionalization of the conflict is a rational strategy for al Shabaab. They are stronger when there are foreign boots on the ground, and weaker otherwise," said William Braniff, an instructor at the Combatting Terrorism Center at West Point.
The links between al Shabaab and al Qaeda—especially al Qaeda's affiliate in Yemen—could pose the biggest threat to the U.S. Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, as the Yemeni affiliate is known, was behind several recent high-profile attacks on the U.S., including the failed Christmas Day bombing of a Detroit-bound airliner.

Deadly Uganda bombings could indicate new roles for al-Qaeda affiliates
The attacks, intended to inflict maximum damage on civilian targets, mark the first major international assault by Somali militants in a region where the United States and its allies are attempting to stem the rise of Islamist militancy. At least one American was killed and several were wounded in Sunday's strikes.
The United States has provided millions of dollars in military and economic aid, training, equipment, logistical support and intelligence to regional counterterrorism allies such as Uganda, Ethiopia and Kenya. Uganda is a training ground for soldiers for Somalia's transitional government, which al-Shabab is seeking to overthrow, in a program backed by the United States and European nations. Troops from Uganda and Burundi make up a U.S.- and Western-backed African Union peacekeeping force in the Somali capital of Mogadishu that protects the fragile government.
A top spokesman for al-Shabab, speaking from Mogadishu, said the militia carried out the bombings, and he alluded to the group's aspiration to use Somalia as a launching pad for international attacks. Ali Mohamud Raghe, the spokesman, threatened further attacks if Uganda and Burundi continue to supply troops to the African Union force.
A Ugandan military spokesman vowed that his nation's soldiers will not leave Somalia. "It increases our resolve to make sure Somalia is pacified. These criminals cannot have room to expand and grow because they are a threat to regional and international peace," said Felix Kulayige, the spokesman. "If they have hoped this cowardly act will make us leave Somalia, they are totally mistaken."
Importing violent tactics
Al-Shabab's new boldness comes as foreign fighters trained in Afghanistan and Pakistan are gaining influence inside the movement and importing their violent tactics. Suicide bombers, including foreigners of Somali descent, have in recent months staged several attacks in Mogadishu. The militia also continues to attract Americans to the Somali conflict, including two New Jersey men arrested last month by U.S. authorities and charged with intending to join al-Shabab. The United States has deemed al-Shabab a terrorist organization.
Sunday's attacks come seven months after al-Qaeda's branch in Yemen -- al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula -- showed its global aspirations with its failed Christmas Day attack on a Detroit-bound airliner. Another group with al-Qaeda links, the Pakistani Taliban, helped orchestrate the botched attempt to bomb Times Square in May.
Top al-Shabab leader Mukhtar Abdurahman Abu Zubeyr last week accused the African Union forces of committing "massacres" against Somalis. He warned that his forces would take revenge against the people of ganda and Burundi.
Banning soccer
The militia, which seeks to create an Islamic emirate and has imposed Taliban-like dictates, has banned soccer in many areas and prohibited broadcasts of the World Cup, describing the sport as "a satanic act" that corrupts Muslims.
The explosions in Kampala tore through the Kyadondo Rugby Club and the Ethiopian Village restaurant, where boisterous soccer fans, including clusters of foreigners, had gathered to watch Spain beat the Netherlands in the World Cup final.
Among the dead at the rugby club was Nate Henn, 25, of Wilmington, Del., a worker for Invisible Children, a California-based aid group that helps child soldiers, the organization said on its Web site. Emily Kerstetter, 16, of Ellicott City was injured, according to WMAR-TV in Baltimore. She was in Kampala with her grandmother's church group from Pennsylvania.
Joanne Lockard, a U.S. Embassy spokeswoman, said there were no directives for embassy staff members or other U.S. citizens to leave Kampala, which is widely considered one of the safest capitals on the continent. Unlike neighbors Kenya and Tanzania, where al-Qaeda bombed U.S. embassies in 1998, Uganda had never been a target of international terrorism.
