Uganda’s government spokesman says the US embassy has shared intelligence with the administration warning of a possible terrorist attack, similar to the one on Kenya’s Westgate mall nearly a month ago.
In response, Ofwono Opondo says President Yoweri Museveni’s government has placed all security agencies on high alert.
“We have [taken] extra security measures. We have deployed both covert and overt personnel in major busy areas of the government and business districts of just not Kampala, but [also] around the country,” said Opondo. “We are sending out alerts calling on the public to be vigilant — particularly proprietors of premises that are frequently visited by many people.” morehere
