32 charged for World Cup bombs - Times LIVE
Among the defendants are 14 Ugandans, 10 Kenyans, six Somalis, one Rwandan and one Pakistani, according to a list published on Tuesday by the state-owned New Vision newspaper.
Pakistan’s honorary consul, Boney Katatumba, said the charged Pakistani national was not registered with the consulate.
Last Thursday, the head of Uganda’s military intelligence, James Mugira, produced the four Ugandans for the media, and instructed them to describe their roles in the bombings.
The suspected mastermind of the attacks, Issa Ahmed Luyima, told reporters he was motivated by “rage against Americans”, blaming the US for supporting Somalia’s embattled transitional government.
He said he left the fighting in Somalia, crossed to Kenya and was then instructed to head to Kampala to plan the attacks. The 33-year-old said he was also responsible for sourcing bomb-making material.
