"Uganda arrests 36 people believed tied to World Cup bombings" by Godfrey Olukya, Associated Press / October 9, 2010
KAMPALA, Uganda — If Ugandan police investigators are right, the size of the conspiracy behind the twin bombings during July’s World Cup finals could hardly have been bigger.

Ugandan police — with help from the FBI and Kenyan police — have arrested 36 people from seven countries....
How charming!

One Day Wonder: Kent State Cover-Up
Yeah, they are a real "help."
The suspects hail from at least three countries with known terrorist links: Somalia, Yemen, and Pakistan.
You gotta love the agenda-pushing bulls***, don't you?
At least one suspect said he was recruited and trained by Al Qaeda. The Somali militant group that claimed responsibility for the blast, Al Shabab, has known links with the international terrorist group.
Al-CIA-Duh, huh?
Uganda’s director of military intelligence, James Mugira, has said Al Qaeda is at least partly responsible, although authorities believe the planning took place in Somalia.
A day after the blasts, Al Shabab, Somalia’s most powerful militant group, said the bombings were retaliation for Ugandan troops’ participation in the African Union peacekeeping mission in Mogadishu. The militant group promised more attacks....
Yeah, they were allegedly shooting for the Dutch but missed by miles!
The suspects in custody have varied backgrounds: businessmen, university students, and leaders of small mosques.
Here we go again.
Other suspects come from Kenya, Rwanda, Tanzania, and Uganda.
“The conspiracy is really very big,’’ said James Okello, a senior police investigator. “It involves many people who also seem to be well funded.’’
Edward Ochom, head of Uganda’s criminal investigations department, said the arrests show that Uganda can successfully hunt down terrorists on its soil.
“It was not by mistake that we arrested those people,’’ Ochom said. “Police have sufficient evidence that all those charged in courts of law with terrorism were somehow involved in the planting of the bombs.’’
Human rights officials, though, say some of the suspects have nothing to do with the bombings and were taken in because they are people of interest to the FBI and Kenyan authorities.

"Uganda newspaper lists homosexuals; Gives addresses, calls for violence; four are attacked" by Godfrey Olukya and Jason Straziuso, Associated Press / October 20, 2010
KAMPALA, Uganda — The front-page newspaper story featured a list of Uganda’s 100 top homosexuals, with a bright yellow banner across it that read: “Hang Them.’’ Alongside their photos were the men’s names and addresses.
I'm not for hanging anyone except war criminals and looting bankers -- regardless of sexual orientation.
In the days since it was published, at least four gay Ugandans on the list have been attacked, and many others are in hiding, according to rights activist Julian Onziema. One person named in the story had stones thrown at his house by neighbors....
I no longer throw stones at anyone because I live in AmeriKa.
We torture!
More than 20 homosexuals have been attacked over the past year in Uganda, and an additional 17 have been arrested and are in prison, said Frank Mugisha, the chairman of Sexual Minorities Uganda. Those numbers are up from the same period two years ago, when about 10 homosexuals were attacked, he said....
Homophobia is rife in many African countries. Homosexuality is punishable by death or imprisonment in Nigeria.
But they have oil so you never read much about that when it comes to Nigeria. More about terrorists there (at least according to my morning newspaper).
In South Africa, the only African nation to recognize gay marriage, gangs carry out “corrective’’ rapes on lesbians.
Decide for yourself regarding their South African coverage.
Solomon Male, a pastor and the head of a group of clergy in Uganda, said he is glad the antihomosexual bill has not yet passed, but said there needs to be an investigation to find out “why homosexuality is increasing in the country.’’
And why the AmeriKan media is so obsessed with it.
The Oct. 9 article in a Ugandan newspaper called Rolling Stone — not the American magazine — was published five days before the one-year anniversary of the controversial legislation. The article claimed that an unknown but deadly disease was attacking homosexuals in Uganda and that gays were recruiting 1 million children by raiding schools.
After the newspaper hit the streets, the government Media Council ordered the paper to cease publishing — not because of its content, but rather that the paper had not registered with the government....
Isn't that what the United States government wants to do to bloggers?
I mean, we ALL KNOW that the CORPORATE PAPERS are the MOUTHPIECES for GOVERNMENT here in AmeriKa so there is no need to go into that.
Rolling Stone does not have a large following in Uganda, a country of 32 million where about 85 percent of people are Christian and 12 percent are Muslim.
More like a newspaper than a blog then (and look at them stirring the old Christian-Muslim conflict canard again. How shameful of the Zionist War Daily)!
And with all those people they are focusing on a handful of attacks?
I'll bet more people were oppressed by the government (but they are an ally in the "war on terror," so....).
The paper published its first edition Aug. 23. It publishes about 2,000 copies, but a single newspaper in Uganda is often read by 10 more people ....
The AmeriKan newspapers can only dream of that kind of circulation!!
The Globe is lucky if the person that buys their doo-doo rag reads it (blog editor smiles)!

I generally don't cover the gay issue anymore, readers. Too many other things doing.
