A Ugandan court has freed five suspects in the 2010 Kampala World Cup bombing, including a Kenyan rights activist.
Al-Amin Kimathi was detained last year after going to Uganda to advise people he said had been illegally extradited.Charges were dropped against him, another Kenyan, a Somali and two Ugandans because of a lack of evidence but 14 others remain in custody.
Al-Shabab said it carried out the bombings which killed 76 people because Uganda had sent troops to Somalia.
