Rebel group warns of further attacks

    NAIROBI
    The rebel National Army for the Liberation of Uganda (NALU) has claimed responsibility for a string of bomb blasts in Kampala that have killed 13 people this year, news organisations reported. In a statement sent to 'The Monitor', signed by NALU's chairman Jafari Salimy, the group warned of more bomb attacks and said Ugandans should avoid the company of westerners or government officials. NALU, which is linked to the Ruwenzori-based rebel Allied Democratic Forces (ADF), is reportedly targeting the west for its support of President Yoweri Museveni. Analysts have dismissed the "capability" of NALU, arguing it is a "mouthpiece" rather than an organised group.
