The FBI had better be careful, the Africans will have them for lunch.

The FBI New York Joint Terrorism Task Force (JTTF) deployed a team of
agents, analysts, and forensic experts to assist the Ugandan authorities in
their search for the terrorist bombers responsible for the July attack.

On July 11, 2010, Uganda was the target of a series of terrorist attacks in
its capital city, Kampala, in which over 70 individuals were killed by
bombers later identified as members of the Somali terrorist group
Al-Shabaab.

The first bomb exploded at approximately 10:30 p.m. at an Ethiopian
restaurant in Kabalagala. The second bomb exploded at approximately 11:20
p.m. at a rugby club. A third bomb also exploded at almost the same time at
the rugby club. The first two bombs were thought to have been triggered by
suicide bombers. At both venues, victims were gathered to watch the final
World Cup soccer match.

Following the terrorist attacks, Uganda authorities made a request through
the U.S. Embassy in Kampala for a team from the FBI to assist with their
investigation.  Included were members of the FBI from other parts of the
country with expertise in specific portions of the investigation such as
evidence collection and explosive analysis.

As part of the investigation, the FBI and Uganda law enforcement officials
are seeking information regarding the identity of the two suicide bombers.
Photos have been reconstructed to demonstrate how the two suspected male
bombers may have appeared.

Major General Kale Kayihura, Inspector General of Police said, "This was a
horrific event for the people of Uganda and we are dedicated to tracking
down those responsible for this heinous crime. Terrorist activity must be
stopped and the police force will do everything possible to keep our
citizens and visitors safe. We thank the U.S. Embassy for arranging for the
FBI to travel to Uganda and assist us with our critical investigation. I
thank the FBI, the British High Commission, New Scotland Yard, and Interpol
among the many others nations and agencies that are assisting us at this
time."

"Our teams are working exceptionally well together in all facets of the
investigation," he added.

FBI Special Agent in Charge, Nathan Gray who is serving as the commander of
the FBI's team in Uganda said, "Uganda suffered a horrible attack as people
peacefully cheered during the World Cup. We are appreciative of the complete
support from Inspector Kayihura and the police force as we work together to
support their investigation. The United States has been victim to serious
terrorist attacks and we have learned that partnerships, such as the one we
have with Uganda are critical in investigating and preventing these
attacks."

FBI Assistant Special Agent in Charge Don Borelli of the New York office is
serving as the deputy commander and overseeing the daily operations. Agent
Borelli stated, "The New York office of the FBI brings a wealth of
experience in investigating terrorism cases. Working closely with our Uganda
law enforcement partners we will do everything possible to help find the
perpetrators of this horrific event."
