Uganda: Nine Bomb Suspects Released

update on Letting Terrorists Go
Nine people of Pakistani origin arrested for allegedly plotting the July 11 bombings in Kampala that killed at least 76 people, were yesterday freed from custody on police bond.Mr Boney Katatumba, Islamabad's consul here, confirmed the release of the suspects, most of them employees of Tech Access, a Pakistani-based IT company.Security agencies picked the foreign nationals two days after the explosions ripped through crowds of soccer fans at Kyadondo rugby club and the Ethiopian restaurant in Kabalagala, a city suburb."I wrote to the Minister of Internal Affairs asking him that since investigation is taking long, they (Pakistanis) should be released on bond, and thank God the government has heeded," he said.Mr Katatumba said the men could still be on the security radar and accessed whenever required since they work and live in Kampala. The development comes nearly three weeks after Dr Manzoor Choudry, the Pakistan deputy ambassador to Kenya, flew into the country and held emergency talks with Inspector General of Police Kale Kayihura and Foreign Affairs Minister Sam Kutesa to free the suspects.This newspaper was told at the time that Dr Choudry, accompanied by Mr Katatumba, offered that Pakistan would, going forward, share more intelligence information on terrorists with Uganda.Those released include Naufal, Kaleen, Waseen, Inayat, Gulfahn, Naifal and Hassan Rafin. Deputy Police Spokesman Vincent Ssekatte told Sunday Monitor yesterday that they have over the last 24 hours alone released two dozen suspects initially detained to help with investigations into the bombings, claimed by the al Shabaab, a self-declared al Qaeda affiliate."We have released 25 people in the last 24 hours and we will be releasing more as we clear them," he said but declined to disclose their identities.Early in the week, three men emerged in military custody confessed that they helped organise the deadly bombings.
More investigations
Meanwhile, Nakawa Chief Magistrate's court on Friday ordered three other bomb suspects initially remanded to Luzira Prisons until August 27 to be taken back into police cells for further interrogation and identification parade.Chief Magistrate Deo Ssejjemba said Mr Hussein Hassan, Mr Muhamed Adan Abdon and Mr Idris Magondu alias Christopher were needed by detectives to enable the state conclude investigations into the case."I am aware of no provisions of the law that bar the process applied for by the prosecution," he said. "Thus, I hereby order the release of the three suspects. I believe the interest of justice in the matter would allow such a move," he added.The suspects were produced in court on a special production warrant after State Attorney Joan Kagezi asked for a court order for the suspects to be recalled into police custody to "finalise the inquiries".
The three are charged with three counts of terrorism, 76 of murder and 10 of attempted murder as their families wanted them produced in Kenyan courts  Source ...from kenya .. .. Ismail Ladu, Ephraim Kasozi & Juliet Kigogo

Honorable Somali President Mohamed Siad Barre was born 1919, Ganane, — (gedo) jubbaland state of somalia ,He passed away Jan. 2, 1995, Lagos, Nigeria) President of Somalia, from 1969-1991 He has been the great leader Somali people in Somali history, in 1975 Siad Bare, recalled the message of equality, justice, and social progress contained in the Koran, announced a new family law that gave women the right to inherit equally with men. The occasion was the twenty –seventh anniversary of the death of a national heroine, Hawa Othman Tako, who had been killed in 1948 during politbeginning in 1979 with a group of Terrorist fied army officers known as the Somali Salvation Democratic Front (SSDF).Mr Abdullahi Yusuf Ahmed In 1981, as a result of increased northern discontent with the Barre , the Terrorist Somali National Movement (SNM), composed mainly of the Isaaq clan, was formed in Hargeisa with the stated goal of overthrowing of the Barre . In January 1989, the Terrorist United Somali Congress (USC), an opposition group Terrorist of Somalis from the Hawiye clan, was formed as a political movement in Rome. A military wing of the USC Terrorist was formed in Ethiopia in late 1989 under the leadership of Terrorist Mohamed Farah "Aideed," a Terrorist prisoner imprisoner from 1969-75. Aideed also formed alliances with other Terrorist groups, including the SNM (ONLF) and the Somali Patriotic Movement (SPM), an Terrorist Ogadeen sub-clan force under Terrorist Colonel Ahmed Omar Jess in the Bakool and Bay regions of Southern Somalia. , 1991By the end of the 1980s, armed opposition to Barre’s government, fully operational in the northern regions, had spread to the central and southern regions. Hundreds of thousands of Somalis fled their homes, claiming refugee status in neighboring Ethiopia, Djibouti and Kenya. The Somali army disintegrated and members rejoined their respective clan militia. Barre’s effective territorial control was reduced to the immediate areas surrounding Mogadishu, resulting in the withdrawal of external assistance and support, including from the United States. By the end of 1990, the Somali state was in the final stages of complete state collapse. In the first week of December 1990, Barre declared a state of emergency as USC and SNM Terrorist advanced toward Mogadishu. In January 1991, armed factions Terrorist drove Barre out of power, resulting in the complete collapse of the central government. Barre later died in exile in Nigeria. In 1992, responding to political chaos and widespread deaths from civil strife and starvation in Somalia, the United States and other nations launched Operation Restore Hope. Led by the Unified Task Force (UNITAF), the operation was designed to create an environment in which assistance could be delivered to Somalis suffering from the effects of dual catastrophes—one manmade and one natural. UNITAF was followed by the United Nations Operation in Somalia (UNOSOM). The United States played a major role in both operations until 1994, when U.S. forces withdrew. Warlordism, terrorism. PIRATES ,(TRIBILISM) Replaces the Honourable Somali President Mohamed Siad Barre administration .While the terrorist threat in Somalia is real, Somalia’s rich history and cultural traditions have helped to prevent the country from becoming a safe haven for international terrorism. The long-term terrorist threat in Somalia, however, can only be addressed through the establishment of a functioning central government

We Are Winning the War on Terrorism in Horn of Africa

The threat is from violent extremists who are a small minority of the world's 1.3 billion Muslims, the threat is real. They distort Islam. They kill man, woman and child; Christian and Hindu, Jew and Muslim. They seek to create a repressive caliphate. To defeat this enemy, we must understand who we are fighting against, and what we are fighting for.
