Kampala suicide bombers not somali to me

Interpol has released reconstructions of the faces of two men suspected of carrying out suicide attacks in Uganda last week that left 73 people dead.

The France-based agency put out a worldwide call to police forces for information on the suspects on Sunday and said that the images were being made public in the hope of identifying the suspects.

"By making these photos public, we believe someone, somewhere could recognise one or both of these men," Interpol quoted the head of the Ugandan police as saying.

Somalia's al-Shabab group has claimed it carried out the July 11 attacks, however, it denied that the twin bombings in the capital, Kampala, were the work of suicide bombers.

Interpol said the images of the suspects' faces were reconstructed from remains found at the sites of the attacks; a restaurant and rugby club where people had gathered to watch the World Cup final.

'Overwhelming' evidence

Kale Kayihura, the inspector general of Uganda's police, told a news conference in Kampala that he had no doubts that suicide bombers were responsible.

"These attacks were carried out by suicide bombers. The evidence is overwhelming ... two heads have not been claimed, neither have they been identified. It can't be a coincidence," he said.

Kayihura said that the reconstructions suggested that one of the bombers was of Somali origin and the other a black African of undetermined origin.

Al-Shabab said it organised the attacks to avenge the killing of civilians by African Union peacekeepers. Ugandan forces form the backbone of the 6,100-strong contingent protecting the UN-backed transitional government in Somalia.

The group is accused of having links to al-Qaeda and is classified as a "terrorist" organisation by the United States.

A number of arrests have been made since the attacks, according to Ugandan police.

"We have arrested more than 20 people arrested, some of whom are foreigners, including Pakistanis," Kayihura said.

"They are being questioned ... They have to explain themselves."

Interpol, which helps co-ordinate police investigations and information-sharing between member countries, said it had sent a team to Uganda to support police there in their investigations.

Some are saying the people who carry out these bombings are Ugandans and they may have local grudges against the Ugandan political establishment. Just wondering how the connection to this Somali group, Al-Shabaab, can be established? Is it because they claimed it is good enough that they are responsible for it? Too many unknows and looks like so many diverging aims are pursued here. It looks like from the outset that Al-Shabaab is infiltrated and there are different voices coming out of the group. Inshallah, the truth will come out.

Indeed this is a far more serious turn of events. How will you contain al-shabab if you are only screening for somali terrorists?

Either way you look at this the bigoted behaviour of the Ugandan media and state information apparatus have both discriminated against the good namme of the somali people. They risked the lifes of every somali seeking refuge outside of the former somali republic.

1. If the attackers weren't from al-shabab then you owe the somali people an apology
2, If the attackers are the work of al-shabab then you have a bigger problem then you could possibly deal with since your only defense is to screen for somali people.

The two faces

- One is Ugandan or sudanese.
- the other is Tutsi.

Hurryup with the apology and compensation for all the business people of somali origin who have lost trade due to closures of their businesses or change of trading hours.

A 14 year old can use easily available software online to edit sheik sharif to give a sunday surmon, we can no longer accept any broadcast with only a voice component to represent the true word of al-shabab.

The whole thing stinks of conspiracy. Ethiopian restraunt in uganda, load of rubbish.

People need to know the truth and not what somebody claimed.

The guy on the right could be the son of Cadde Muusse, the former president of Punthopia.
