Just when we thought Africa was getting a bit peaceful...these guys come ruin it.An unexploded suicide vest has been found in Kampala after Sunday's deadly attack on people watching the World Cup final on TV.An unspecified number of people have been arrested so far. And they have no shame, on the most important day of all
A Somali Islamist group al-Shabab has said it was behind the attack because Uganda is supporting Somalia's government in Mogadishu.Government spokesman Fred Opolot said the arrests were made after a suicide vest was found in the Makindye area south-east of Kampala.The vest was found in a black bag similar to those used for carrying lap-tops in a nightclub on Monday afternoon, reported the police.The nationalities of those arrested has not been released but officials have said a head found near the site of one of the blasts appeared to belong to a Somali national, who may have been a suicide bomber.

The Ugandan police are being helped by American investigators as we speak,tring to figure out exactly how the explosions were planned and detonated. The African Union, which has sent peacekeepers to Somalia, is holding a summit in Kampala later this month and officials say it will go ahead as planned and that these explosions dont affect any of the arrangements, well they have quite a stand there..I'm shaking like a leaf and I'm in Tzee...scared like a birdee and these guys dong give a crap..heck...its peace ruiners like these wanaipa the whole continent jina baya....
on the other hand
* Uganda has started seven days of national mourning, with flags flying at half-mast across the country
* Kenya, which is training Somali government forces, has stepped up security measures along its border with Somalia
* The authorities in Burundi, the other country sending troops to the AU mission in Somalia, are on alert after al-Shabab repeated threats to attack it.
