Twin Bombings Kill 74 People In Uganda; Al-Qaida-linked Somali Group Claims Responsibility

KAMPALA, Uganda — Somalia's most dangerous al-Qaida-linked militant group claimed responsibility Monday for twin bombings in Uganda that killed 74 people watching the World Cup final on TV, saying the militants would carry out attacks "against out enemy" wherever they are.



Al-Shabab, whose ranks are swelled by militant veterans of the conflicts in Afghanistan and Iraq, has long threatened to attack outside of Somalia's borders, but the bombings late Sunday are the first time the group has done so.

"We will carry out attacks against our enemy wherever they are," Rage said. "No one will deter us from performing our Islamic duty."

The Somali militants appear to have attacked sites in Uganda because the country contributes troops to the African Union-led peacekeeping force that protects Somalia's weak, U.N.-backed government.

The attacks outside the Somalia represent a dangerous new step in al-Shabab's increasingly militant path.

The death toll in Sunday's twin blasts rose to 74 on Monday, Ugandan officials said.

Most American Citizens believe that the Constitution of the United States of America allows for the Freedom of Speech.

This We agree is a part of the Responsibilty that the Citizen places on the shoulders of the News Media.

All American Citizens also have an inherent right to believe that Our Elected Government allows Citizens protection at home and internationally.

Our nation for 200+ years also adheres to the principal of innocent til proven guilty; and our crime experts are the best in the World.

There have been many instances in Our History where Government and Media have not conducted Constitutional policies that actually Hurt American Citizens(Dred Scott-SpanishAmerican War-and Gulf of Tonkin to name a few)

The above article, from the "blackNews" seems full of "blackHoles".

As American Citizens we realize that our Tax Dollars are presently being spent on the surveillance and containment of Somalia since the days of Our Dear President George Bush. And Our Military has rained down 2000 pound bombs on suspected American Problems in Somalia and that African Region.

We would think that any group traveling to Uganda from Somalia would have the best Surveillance America can provide; 24/7. We have been told by Our Dear Past Secretary of Defense over 8 years ago that this African, Islamic Global American Threat was just a "ragtail group of losers". We have reason to believe that any threatening or ragtail transmission from Somalia would be met with a 2000 or at least a 1000 pound bomb.

We know that the British are rabid fans of futbol or soccer in the USA and are know as the rowdiest fans the world over---they were eliminated early and have been contentious in loss----

As a theoretical thought would it be possible that a British national posing as a Beer Drinker infiltrated this bar in Uganda---set off a horrible and demonic charge to kill innocent human beings drinking and watching the World Cup Final and then a drunken colleague of his called into the BBC or "blackNews" and said,

" We are in a Rage and we did it uganda pub and we did it in the name of 8 Guinness bottles."

The British do have an accent and a drunken Brit probably has a nonCoherent accent on a cell phone.

We do pray that the perpetrators of this demonic act receive the capital punishment similar to any of those blown up by large explosives.

Brother Rob,

Do you really think a disgruntal Brit blew up the pub? Come on now be serious. The Somali Al-Qaeda has take responsiblity for this mess.

soccer, pub, Guinness, brit colonizers, africa, ---

of course I would believe my theory first --- 007 was a part of my youth, and colonizers have a History of Messing up my Home.........

the media always says, "the number 2 man-or 3rd captain this,"

if they knew this much information they would have dropped a 1-2000 pound bomb and destroyed the part of town they got the transmission from or half the country--

i'm sorry jenFad, but you do inspire me.

@ Brother Rob,
Ha! Inspiration my eye~

@ Brother Clark,
I just have such a hard time with things like whole governments doing underhanded things. It's a new concept that I'm slowly trying to digest as well as I'm trying to get rid of the half truths from my schooling which I was taught as truth.
