Uganda Police released on Sunday images of two men suspected to be behind the twin attacks on Uganda killing at least 75 people. "Our intelligence so far confirms that last Sunday's bomb attacks were suicide attacks," Maj. Gen. Kale Kayihura, Uganda's national police chief, told reporters.
The Interpol investigators which helped Ugandan for the investigation have posted on their web photos of the men.
"By making these photos public, we believe someone, somewhere could recognize one or both of these men," Interpol quoted the head of the Ugandan police.
Interpol said the photos of the suspects’ faces were rebuilt from remains found at the scenes of the attacks; a restaurant and rugby club where people had gathered to watch the World Cup final.
Gen. Kayihura said the reconstructions suggested that one of the bombers was of Somali origin and the other a black African of undetermined origin.
"These attacks were carried out by suicide bombers. The evidence is overwhelming ... two heads have not been claimed, neither have they been identified. It can't be a coincidence," he added.
Ugandan Security forces arrested more than 20 people, including several Pakistanis, for last week’s deadly attacks in Kampala.
Al-Qaeda linked group of Al-Shabaab, which claimed responsibilities for the July 11 attacks said it was avenging the killing of civilians by the African Union peacekeepers.
