At least three civilians have been killed in a double suicide bombing in the Ugandan capital Kampala.
One explosion happened near a checkpoint at the central police station and the second near the Parliament building.
Three attackers also died in the blast and Ugandan police said a fourth was arrested and a suicide vest found at his home.

Museveni stop killing Ugandans
@Chloe Pearl seriously you need to wake up from that dream and accept reality, we all agree nrm has been finishing up people but this time I think you should leave the hate and face reality this is a terrorist group doing don’t let ignorance consume you
@Justin Y. they are not Islam. We are not to do that. Stop spreading hate
Save your prayers, they’ve never worked in the past & they won’t work either now or in the future.
@scovi achiro true dia
The whole world is acting up
embassies have been getting attacked literally every year, sense they existed. The world just hates each other
death to america 🔫
Facts
We know it’s Israel
Egypt is coming brethren
🤣🤣🤣😂😂
Why do you only have blame for the ones you dislike?
@Justin Y. Laugh 🤣
@Number One I know thier techniques puppy
First bomb ever bombed in the world in civilian territory was in Alexandria by the ones I hate
Uganda is out last border . I write this not for you but for history
@NetZero SS Islam 🤣😂🤣😂
All Africa is on fire now.
What do you mean Africa being on fire. Bomb blast in the UK puts Europe on fire. Gasiya
@walthe Brian Don’t bother with people that couldn’t show you where Uganda is on a map
Idi Amin is back.
It’s u devils of kanywa musayim7 killing innocent people in uganda.ur here uttering nonsense.Amin was more better than ur sheet devil m7
@Justin Y. Hate will only breed hate be positive Islam has nothing to do with this! You can choose to hate but at least don’t blame the entire 1.8 billion people
Idi Amin did not perform such acts upon his people.
It M7 playing politics on people’s lives
@Justin Y. stop those lies all the time .why implicate them all the time youre the ones causing that because even if they have not done it you say islam people style up
I somehow feel the West might have a hand in this
@Farzana Patel 🇺🇸 The West is also a s***hole too though. You should learn international relation. What do you think happens with US “nice relationship” with Taliban? Also Iraq, Syria, etc… And also Israel on the land of Palestine. Don’t be naive
@Farzana Patel 🇺🇸 Check out the war records of the west last 100 years, you’re welcome…
I know what freedom looks like, and it doesn’t involve the west.
Naah, just the religios of peace
@Farzana Patel 🇺🇸 “Responsibility”?
What a strange concept!
YEAH BY ALL MEANS THE WESTERN BELIEVE ME…🤡🤥
In my home country uganda the only problem is the dictator who thinks he’s asupper power helping the neighboring countries having international conflicts with army thus not knowing that he’s creating enmity ie like the Alshabab that he pressed in Somali republic, South Sudan , Tourture of the opposition parties in Uganda thus enemy can’t be known 🤔
I’ve heard that.
The only problem is your countrymen would rather live a “peaceful” life than do what it takes to pry power away from the military.
@ngashjr Oooh seriously?
Islam introducing itself enjoy Islam africa
@Jay Younes that’s why the bomber screamed allahu akbar and Islam had nothing to do with it 🤣🤣🤣😂
@Jay Younes read Qur’an page to page you will know that religion as to do with this, you don’t need to be harsh the truth is always open no matter how you hide or try to defend lies.
@NDOLILE HAULE By your logic we should judge Christianity for the army of god, the LRA, the NLFT and eastern lightning. We should judge Hinduism for the RSS, Maoist, and so on. You should analyse Robert Pape his studies and read his book, if you have ever opened a book in your life. It’s the largest study conducted to date, after all.
@Justin Y. Please bring me facts, not your ignorance and emotions. Ain’t no one got time for that.
Islam is the fastest dying cult in Africa. This is a racist cult ever to exist. Muhammad never like black color, he commanded his followers to kill black dogs that they’re devil, he sold one white slave in exchange with two black slaves…
And once Africans know this cult they immediately leave it.
I don’t feel bad for the corrupt Ugandan police and their corrupt boss museveni
Me too dia and dat dat old Devil walking might m7 and his demon Muhoozi are de one killing innocent people
And the world spins on
The world needs to try peace. Try, and continue working for it.
@Number One there’s no such thing and there never will be. It’s always been in our nature to kill for whatever reason. We always find reasons, however petty it may be
@Sersomeone Agree, there is no peace until human extinct.
May Peace and prosperity reign supreme.
Colonialists , imperialist and Zionist are up to no Good .

Religion of peace🤣🤣🤣
@c m You know what you are absolutely right, thanks for the advice brother. I ve presented my evidence so there is no need to continue, this will be my last comment here. God Bless
@J.I.K 2.0 best bet for you is to listen to your brother. Otherwise you will just embarrass yourself.
@Exklusive Picture 21st century year 2021 Islam destroying Africa and poisoning the whole world with terrorism
May god save us
Did you even watch the video? Do you follow politics? Did you study history? This absolutely has nothing to do with religion. How ignorant and uneducated can one be…
@Exklusive Picture nope. No one has ever killed people in the name if Christ, nor did christ ever commanded anyone to kill. We have the 10 commandments and christ taught to pray for those who prosecute you. Communism has killed more people in human history.
ROPE religion of peace exercising.
They shouldn’t have brought those Afghanistan people
Don’t know why my comment keeps getting removed. Nobody from Aghanistan has been arrested so far. The people who left from Aghanistan left from the new Islamic government in Afghanistan. Does it really make sense for a ISIL member to escape an Islamic government? As for the ADF, it is comprised by native Ugandans. They have existed decades before the new arrival of Afghans, so how are Afghans more likely to blame?
@Isma’il Muslim good question, but if this is the stage of the country i must agree with the other for once u can only accept refugees when ur country is secured…
Did you even listen to what they said? Is has nothing to do with Afghanis.
Exactly my thoughts!
@Godnest Godest Ignorant child. They were not afghani.
There is no peace where Us foothold!
I never trust Al Jazeera, they always provide A fake news,
Al Jazeera is a fake propagandist
They want to see that the continent of Africa to be failed , that’s what their mission
I sometimes wish the world would end because people have no right to take lives. already the future is bleak and the power hungry will have nothing left to survive or rule. it’s sad that all the innocent that suffers in the end😢
Infelizmente os justos e os que anseiam por justiça tenham de sofrer por conta da volta de Cristo.
Force investigation start from Mr Anwar…..all contacts
hopefully somebody SAW the COWARDS!!
Islam is not society’s friend
Really Great news, ISIS paving the way to the Fascists throats.

@Jeff Larin مش عاوز فلوس What good is they realized they are being watched by Allah. Now is the time to turn to Allah and seek repentance from Him. 👍🏾
These lies will one day come to an end.
Olla u ubber💩💩😂😂pissfull religion from soudi Arabia
President Museveni stop killing innocent Ugandans that you have poorly ruled for 36 years. You lost the election, hand over power peacefully.
The “why are you gay” country has been hit by 3 gay suicide bombers. 😆
Pastor sempa: “America is trying to bomb me”
Come here n say that
After accepting Afghan refugees…
You fo.ol Did you not watch the video? This has absolutely nothing to do with Afghanis. Stop speculating and actually following politics and history.
Uganda should remove the greedy man M7 from power.🖕🖕
Museveni has to secure his funding from the West by all means necessary. May that horrible dinosaur pay a heavy price for his evil deeds.
Is this the first time the (regime) in Uganda has plotted bombs, killed
innocent civilians??
*Please stop fooling up people* .
Uganda is finally using Indonesia’s tactic 🙄 Just another dictatorian ruling group who in no time will get focus on radicalism and islamophobic instead of corruption and exploitation.
I’m not saying I support the terrorists tho. I’m just saying that this is just the first step for them to further ignore the real problem.
Confusion of de highest Ida, someone call pasta to make sense of all this.
Let’s have peace in this world. Most things happens because of greed and power hungry people.
Did the criminal say a word before it blast?
what do u mean by that? 🤔
I wonder to ask, would Kenya be next, all the Countries troops deployed in Somalia, have trouble of their own at home. My suggestion is, Maybe you need those peacekeepers at home, Somalia thanks you for your service.
Bruh they literally said it was carried by Ugandan gang it has nothing to do with Somalia 🤦🏾
@Dah Hirsi in Kenya there have also been rumours terrorist activity
Religion of peace
All of these people are Gs on their youtube account. Show me one who speaks the same rhetoric on their public social media profile. None of them do. A bunch of intellectually crippled kids.
@Jay Younes brother.. I advise u to be calm and do not insult others even if we diagree with them.. Be an interlectual and do not stoop low to their standards please
@Bright light You have a good point. Thanks.
@Sela Tungi
> Uses a book released much after the passing away of the Holy Prophet (P.B.U.H) as a proof instead of the Quran to spread fake words about him
> Forgets to exegete Al-Baydawi and Al-Alusi for the Sura 9:5 to present as a “proof” without full context and not including 9:6 As well..
You are a clown aren’t you? 🤡🤡🤡🤡
@Jay Younes
They literally bring a half quote and not even site the reference (given in Quran in other areas) and the very next verse.. Peak comedy 🤡🤡🤡
Religion of peace spreading peace in Africa
@Wumao 50 cent bot 🐖💩 ik that youre just another hater! grow up boi!
Muhammad is a first terrorist, he said that he has been made successful through terror in a one month journey.
Islam is a cult.
@Sela Tungi lmao u are a funny guy eh
@Sela Tungi Bring proof backed by referenced, not your your emotions and ignorance, you child.
@Jay Younes sahih Muslim 523f who is now a child? You even don’t know your stupid faith. Will you apologize you abdul? You’re very crazy like your prophet who jumped in a dirty water full of dead dogs and pads with blood of women.
Do you like to play with children like your prophet?
This aljeezira channel is a disgrace to Uganda and Africa.
Uganda always finds those terrorists….they never talk about it.
Only negative stuff about Africa and Uganda in particular.
My universe… African governments need to collectively stop all militias…
Africa is a continent and has no president, no constitution and no government.
Nosense that’s museveni murdering our peaple
Funny how this bombing happened only 3 months after your government decided to harbor five thousand Afghan refugees…🤔
Study history. This has nothing to do with afghanistan… How ignorant and uneducated are you?
@Jay Younes I’m not impressed by doofuses like you…
Yep! Because of money, they allow enemies to enter their country in the name of refugees. Why can’t they go to Islamic/Arab countries
@Godnest Godest You clearly don’t have a clue what’s happening. Islamic countries have plenty of refugees you ignorant child.
Catherine and aljazeera please before you report on issues concerning bombs in Uganda first investigate then give an authentic report other than misleading the world with your fake news. Had you investigated well you would know who’ Is really behind all this!!!!!!
Mr. Mohammed Ib ISIL Abubakar at work…so sad.
Try and study history and politics. Or perhaps watch the video. This has nothing to do with religion.
Boo!!! show us them exploding
Religion of peace strikes again, what is the excuse this time? Uganda didn’t attack any Muslim countries
It has nothing to do with religion! grow up lil boi!
@Yvng I don’t see Christians, Buddhists or Hindus blowing themselves up you clown!
RSS students are growing everywhere in the world…. Mohan hagawath leader what kind of mantar is blowing in thair ears
Islamists again
My prayers 🙏 to the Ugandan people and residence both citizens and foreigners.

Awwwww 😳😭😭😭😭✊✊✊✊♥️🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭
Its museven behind this
He wants surport from the western
As longer as museven is still on power, this won’t stop
For all of you believing this, you need to know that these attacks were clearly orchestrated by the state. It’s deep, you only need to dig in and get the whole thing.
But the video is cut and then puff smoke appears…no one has seen the suicide bomber..this could be a false flag operation set up to tarnish a religious group.
No matter how nice you are to a goat, it will still eat your yam religion of peace one who has been bitten by a snake lives in fear of worms
Islam is still a peaceful religion 🥴🥴🥴🥴
Respect SOMALIA the problems is not only happen to SOMALIA the terrorist are around the world
You’d have to be totally insane & living a really patheic existence to think that blowing yourself up was going to make anything better than it is & if you think you’ll be going to a better place you’re going to be very disappointed because this is the only life you get.
These acts of terrorism is no usual acts they are I’m sure as a result of outside/foreign forces paid to carry out their usual terroristic agenda
How bout boda2 pasta
Opposition reader Bobi wine has terrorise Kampala.
Who is behind this
