“As the Joint Security Agencies, we do strongly condemn these senseless and heinous attacks within the city. Although, three suicide bombers, died in the double bomb attacks, our CT response teams managed to pursue a fourth suicide bomb attacker, identified as Moze and cornered him at Bwaise. They shot and injured him, and immediately after, recovered an unexploded improvised explosive device on him. A second IED was recovered from his home, at Katooke – Nansana village, which the bomb squad, have neutralized. We are now pursuing other members of the terror groups.” Said Fred Enanga, the police spokesperson
Enanga says although, the Joint Counter Terror teams, mitigated bomb threats and attacks for the last 22 days, today’s breakthrough attacks, show that they still need to do more, to pre-empt, penetrate and prevent deadly attacks by domestic extremists, in the days to come.
“As you are all aware, we have managed to counter several bomb threats, and also neutralized several suspicious packages and device-related incidents across the nation. For now, the bomb threats are still active, and cannot be solved in one go, which calls for the popular intelligence and vigilance of the community.” Said enanga
Enanga reassured all Ugandans and visitors to the country, that they continue to pursue all terrorists, their agents, operatives and collaborators, to help prevent the re-emergence of such acts of domestic terror.
