In Summary

The group

  • Rented a house in Namasuba where the planning, assembling and testing of bombs was done.
  • Spent days surveying the targeted places.
  • Bought two phones at Mutasa Kafeero Plaza.
  • They had also targeted Cheri Bar in Kabalagala and Khana Kazana in Kololo
  • They held prayers before the attack.
  • They describe themselves as martyrs.

She later served me tea and continued listening to the World Cup final on a radio. At this point, news began breaking on radio. Bombs had exploded at Kyadondo Rugby Club, killing people.

I got so scared and that I failed to sleep the whole night because I knew about the plot. Issa had told me never to disclose this to anyone. But it became unbearable and I called my brother Muzapharu Luyima who works at Pioneer Mall.

I told him I was sick and needed him to take me to a clinic. When he arrived in his car, I explained the whole story to him and he got frightened. I requested him to take me to town and he refused. I boarded a taxi to town and later Bwaise- Kazo where my second wife lives.

She was also disappointed she had spent days without hearing from me. I developed the idea of going back to Sudan. I called my friend -Rajab who works in Juba and he accepted to receive me. But life was not easy in Juba and after a week I decided to return to Kampala. Rajab got me transport and I jumped on the next bus to Kampala .
