Thirty people have been arrested in connection with a series of bomb blasts which have rocked Kampala and other parts of the country, press reports said on Wednesday. The semi-official ‘New Vision’ newspaper quoted security officials as saying those arrested over the last month are suspected of having been trained to make bombs using local materials. The suspects are being held in “safe houses” in various parts of the city. Among those arrested are a Sudanese national and director of an international NGO, Ahmadiya Muslim Mission, the newspaper said. The suspects will be charged in court “soon”.
