General Aronda Warns of Terror Attack On Natio

Kampala — Chief of Defence Forces Gen. Aronda Nyakairima threw his weight behind the police's alerts of possible terrorist attacks in the country and said yesterday that the country is a target of reprisal attacks especially because of Uganda's peacekeeping mission in Somalia.Gen. Aronda warned the public to take the terror alerts issued by the police seriously, telling reporters at a press briefing at the Ministry of Defence Headquarters in Kampala that intelligence reports gathered from security agencies outside Uganda had suggested that the country is under threat.
"We have colleagues who share information with us," said Gen. Aronda. "I agree with the alerts. It is good so that everybody is on the look out."
The CDF said internal vigilance in the country was necessary, "so that we do not wake up to news that 200 people have died. We don't want to see what we have seen in Bombay and in New York."
Gen. Aronda, however, admitted that the army had played no role in detailing the threat posed by the suspected terrorists, and said "In this one, we are not in it. This is police and intelligence activity.",,more..http://allafrica.com/stories/200910190480.html
