As my colleague Josh Kron reports, “At least 64 people were killed when bombs exploded Sunday in a synchronized attack on large gatherings of World Cup soccer fans watching the televised final on outdoor screens” in Kampala, Uganda. Officials in Uganda said that the Shabab, a militant Islamic group in nearby Somalia, might have been behind the bombings. Reuters reported that Sheik Yusuf Sheik Issa, a Shabab commander in Somalia said, “Uganda is a major infidel country supporting the so-called government of Somalia.” He added, “We know Uganda is against Islam and so we are very happy at what has happened in Kampala. That is the best news we ever heard.”
