Summary: Three bombs exploded on July 11, 2010, at two sites in Kampala, Uganda, killing 76 people who were among crowds watching the finals of the 2010 World Cup soccer competition on large outdoors television screens. One bomb, at an Ethiopian restaurant, killed about 15 people, including one American; the other two bombs exploded at a rugby club stadium, killing the balance of the victims. Responsibility for the bombings was claimed by Al Shabab, the Islamist, fundamentalist guerrilla army attempting to seize the parts of Somalia it did not already control. In its claim of responsibility, Shabab cited Uganda's contribution of soldiers to the 6,000-strong African Union force in Somalia protecting the established government from the Al Shabab assault. Ugandan police said later they had arrested about 20 people, including both Somalis and Ugandans, and had recovered an unexploded bomb evidently meant to be planted elsewhere. The unexploded bomb was in the form of a suicide vest modified to work when buried; Al Shabab said there were no suicide bombers involved in the attacks.
