Two bombs were set off on Sunday night in Uganda's capital, Kampala. Normally a quiet city, the bombs went off unexpectedly and killed more than 70 people as well as injuring dozens more. The bombs were placed at the Kayadondo Rugby club, frequented by expatriates as well as a popular Ethiopian restaurant. Both spots were packed with people watching the World Cup final. The BBC reports that the Ugandan authorities believe the Somali militant group al-Shabab could be behind the attack.
