President Museveni on Friday night met intelligence chiefs over the July 11 attacks on civilians and pressed them to individually explain why they had failed to detect and prevent the attack.
According to intelligence sources, the President met his security chiefs at State House, Entebbe from 3pm to midnight and gave them details on how he wants the issue of Somalia to be tackled.
The sources that did not want to be named because standing orders bar them from speaking to the media, said Mr Museveni who first grilled his chiefs, later thanked them for the progress in their investigations.
In attendance
Those who attended the meeting included Defence minister Crispus Kiyonga, Chief of Defence Forces Aronda Nyakairima, head of CMI James Mugira, ISO boss Amos Mukumbi, External Security Organisation chief Robert Masolo, Police head Kale Kayihura and Foreign Affairs Minister Sam Kutesa.
Mr Kutesa was called in to give a brief on the ongoing African Union summit.
Sources said the intelligence chiefs briefed the President on the number of arrests they have so far made. The arrests mainly involve Somalis in Kenya, Tanzania and southern Sudan.
Most of those arrested in Uganda were attempting to enter the country without proper documents and clear reasons. “Those arrested have given us vital clues on the operations of al Shabaab in the country and this has pleased the President,” a source said.
Apparently, the President blamed MPs who failed to pass the phone interception Bill for betraying the work of intelligence after it emerged that the elements that bombed civilians, had extensively used phone communication.
“We would have monitored where they were going to attack from,” the source quoted President Museveni. At least 84 people were killed and more than 50 others injured after two bomb blast in Kampala.
Meanwhile, the bombing of Kampala on July 11 by suspected Al Shabaab has left the public wondering how the grisly mission executed.
But according to our investigation, before the bombing, security was already aware that ADF trained elements with links to al Shabaab had infiltrated the country including the security.
According to the September 2009 intelligence brief seen by Sunday Monitor, the plan to bomb Kampala using the urban hit squad by remnants of the ADF was carried out in Nadui camp which is also the headquarters of ADF in Erengeti Sector, Eastern Congo.
“Jamil Mukulu a.k.a Professor has about 800 fighters excluding children below 5 years. All the fighters are Muslims, 40 per cent Ugandans, the rest are either Congolese, Tanzanians, Senegalese, Somalis or others from West Africa,” the intelligence report reads in part.
The report says that Mukulu’s deputy is Musa Baluku who is also the Imam of their Mosque in Nadui Camp. Army/UPDF spokesperson Felix Kulayigye told Sunday Monitor on Friday that both the army and intelligence agencies got the information regarding the activities of ADF/ al Shabaab in Congo but the army deemed it unnecessary to attack since Congo was doing so.
“First of all, it’s not true that we didn’t react but camps are in Congo and the Congolese forces are already attacking those camps,” Lt. Col. Kulayigye said that days before the bombing, UPDF had finalised the plan of invading their hideouts in eastern Congo with full support of both Americans and Congolese forces to flash out the rebels.
Security says that a one Huud Lukwago is their Army Commander who has on several occasions contemplated abandoning the insurgency. The report also lists other commanders as a one Kalyango, Munibu both of whom hail from Kampala and key in identifying locations in the city.
More commanders
Others are Nsekera Nio, Nsereko, Muzanganda, Muyira Mutebi and Kayira, a Ugandan born Burundi. Sources say that these are responsible for training and recruiting from DR Congo, Uganda and other nationalities.
“All the training is done in Nadui Camp, they are trained in Martial Arts and since the beginning of this year, and they have trained a specialised group in handling gas masks for wearing on the face. This is an indication that this group is likely to pour gas on the population,” the brief reads.
Sunday Monitor understands that this information on the operations of ADF and their links with al Shabaab and Pakistanis’ was availed to the President through External Security Organisation (ESO) and later on shared by other sister organs.
But the security only focused on institutions like Parliament only to be shocked when the terrorists struck soft targets.
The training
The training according to information is done in Nadui Camp and the people carrying out are mainly Pakistanis, Somalis and Eritreans. The biggest link that connects ADF, Al Shabaab, Al-Qaida, North Africa Taliban’s in Afghanistan and Pakistan is that all of them are of the Salaf Sect.
