newsinsdeKAMPALA, Uganda -- Uganda's president is calling on Africa to band together to fight terrorism on the continent, just weeks after twin bomb attacks killed 76 people in Kampala.
President Yoweri Museveni told a gathering of African leaders on Sunday that his government has arrested suspected organizers of the bombings and that interrogations were yielding "good information."
Museveni spoke at the opening of an African Union summit that planned to focus on peace and security, infrastructure, energy and food security. The bombings two weeks ago are likely to dominate discussions in the three-day summit.
The Somali militant group al-Shabab claimed responsibility for the July 11 bombings in two locations in Uganda's capital during the World Cup final.
