Patterns of Global Terrorism 2001 - Uganda
President Yoweri Museveni publicly condemned the 11 September attacks and called upon the world to act together against terrorism. Two insurgent groups – the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) in Northern Uganda and the Allied Democratic Forces in Western Uganda – continued military operations aimed at undermining the Kampala government in 2001 – resulting in several terrorist attacks that injured foreign nationals. In June, three bombs exploded simultaneously in public areas in Kampala killing one and wounding 19 persons. Suspected LRA rebels ambushed a Catholic Relief Services vehicle in September, killing five persons and wounding two others.
