After a successful US airstrike attack on the al-Qaeda allied Al-Shabab in Uganda, what many thought would be a revenge attack was thwarted by local authorities.
Watch below:
Ugandan authorities on Saturday thwarted an attempted terror attack, just days after the terror group al Shabab vowed revenge for U.S. air strikes that killed its leader.
Uganda police reportedly arrested several suspects and recovered explosives in the capitol of Kampala, according to The Wall Street Journal. However authorities did not say whether the suspects are members of al Shabab, an Al Qaeda affiliate.
The announcement about the arrests was made just hours after the U.S. embassy in Uganda warned Americans in the country that an attack was “imminent” and to stay indoors.
The embassy had warned in the aftermath of leader Ahmed Abdi Godane’s death earlier this month about the potential for a revenge attack.
How soon before our luck runs out? After all, the terrorists only have to be right once, we have to be right 100% of the time.
