Twin blasts in Uganda capital Kampala 'kill 23 people'

t least 23 people have been killed in twin explosions in the Ugandan capital Kampala, police said. It is not known what caused the blasts, which police said went off at a rugby club and at a restaurant, as football fans watched the World Cup final.
"These bombs were definitely targeting World Cup crowds," Inspector General of Police Kal Kayihura told AFP.
Somali militants have in the past threatened to attack Kampala; Ugandan troops are deployed in Mogadishu.
Mr Kayihura told AP news agency he believed Somalia's militant group al-Shabab could be behind the attack.
"The information we have indicates 13 people have died here at the Ethiopian Village [restaurant] and many others are injured and more than 10 people are reported to have died at the rugby club," Mr Kayihura told Reuters news agency at the scene of one blast.
About 5,000 African Union troops from Uganda and Burundi are based in the Somali capital Mogadishu to protect the fragile interim government.
The Amisom force is engaged in frequent firefights with Islamist insurgents which control much of southern and central Somalia.
