The U.S. Embassy in Uganda on Friday warned Americans living in the country of an imminent attack similar to the deadly rampage in Kenyas Westgate shopping mall just weeks ago.
Americans in the capital Kampala were told to avoid crowded public spaces after the Ugandan government heightened its terror alert to maximum for the first time since al Shabaab bombings in 2010 which killed 79 people.”Our intelligence and that of the Americans show an imminent terror attack is likely,” Patrick Onyango told Reuters.
