Kampala [Uganda]: The Islamic State has claimed responsibility for the two powerful explosions in the centre of Uganda’s capital during rush hour on Tuesday, reported The Wall Street Journal.
At least three people were killed and 33 were injured in the bombings. It took place within about 550 yards and three minutes of each other in Kampala’s heavily guarded business district, The Wall Street Journal quoted police spokesman Fred Enanga as saying.
