Ugandan President promises to crush perpetrators of attack

Kampala, Oct 25 (Prensa Latina) The president of Uganda, Yoweri Museveni, promised to crush the perpetrators of an attack that on Saturday caused, according to divergent versions, between one and three dead, claimed today by the Islamic State (IS).

The Islamist grouping has published on social networks a statement in which it claims to have carried out the bomb attack on a bar in the capital frequented by soldiers whom it describes as members of the Ugandan ‘crusader army’.

At least five persons were wounded by the explosion whose perpetrators the president described as ‘parasitic pigs’ and assured that they will be captured.

The action was claimed by the Islamic State in Central Africa, a group that operates in the east of the neighboring Democratic Republic of Congo and in Mozambique, an affiliate of an entity of the same orientation that operates in Nigeria and has its headquarters in Lake Chad.
