Kampala blasts: Suicide bombers target Ugandan capital

Suicide bombers have targeted the Ugandan capital Kampala, killing at least three people and injuring more than 30 others, police say, writes BBC.

Three attackers on motorbikes blew themselves up near parliament and the city’s police headquarters.

The number of dead is likely to rise, with the blasts leaving body parts strewn in the streets.

The Islamic State (IS) group has said it was behind the attack, the militants’ Amaq News Agency reports.

The attacks came within three minutes of each other. More bombs have been found in other parts of the city, officials said.

“The bomb threats are still active, especially from suicide attackers”, - said police spokesman Fred Enanga.
