Somali militants 'behind' Kampala World Cup blasts

The Somali Islamist group al-Shabab has said it was behind twin blasts which hit the Ugandan capital Kampala on Sunday, killing 74 people.

In a statement in Mogadishu, spokesman for the group Sheikh Ali Mohamud Rage threatened more attacks.

Police said the bombings targeted football fans watching the World Cup final.

A Ugandan official said a Somali's head was found at the scene of one blast, and he may have been a suicide bomber.

Ugandan peacekeepers are in Somalia, and al-Shabab has previously threatened Kampala.

"Al-Shabab was behind the two bomb blasts in Uganda," Ali Mohamud Rage said.

What's the difference between a Somali head and a South African head?

There may be some tribal differences? or more - saying there is no diference is like aying all caucasioans/pakistanis/indians/chinese look the same.

(I assume you mean African and not South African)
