On Tuesday, Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni condemned the suicide bombings in Kampala, which killed three people and left several others wounded.
Published on November 17, 2021, Museveni assured residents that the government would continue to fight terrorism and promote security.
He noted that the terrorists had exposed themselves at a time when Uganda's security infrastructure had improved and was more prepared to fight terrorism.
"The terrorists invited us and we are coming for them," Museveni said.
He also referred to the suicide bombers as manipulated and confused 'Bazzukulu' (grandchildren), identifying two of them as Mansoor Uthman and Wanjusi Abdallah.
As part of the government's efforts to enhance security, police will issue guidelines on securing checkpoints outside buildings to ensure the safety of occupants.
"We are working with neighbours to deal with those (terrorists) operating from outside," Museveni added.
Ugandan authorities linked the attacks to radicalised groups attached to the Allied Democratic Forces, affiliated to the Islamic State (IS).
The Islamic State group claimed responsibility for the Tuesday explosions.
