KAMPALA, July 14 (AFP): A suicide bomber carried out at least one of the two bomb attacks that killed 76 people as they watched the World Cup final in Kampala, and several arrests have been made, a minister said Wednesday.
A Somalian Al-Qaeda inspired group has claimed the attacks and police have already found an unexploded suicide vest at another site, seen as evidence of a botched plan for a third bomb strike.
One militant blew himself up at an Ethiopian restaurant in Kabalagala, a southern Kampala district, where crowds had gathered to watch the football match on Sunday night.
"We can confirm at least for the case of Kabalagala that it was a suicide bomber," State Minister for Internal Affairs, Matia Kasaija, told AFP.
