The authorities in Uganda say a suicide bomber was behind an explosion on a bus in the capital, Kampala, on Monday.
“The attacker died in the explosion,” police spokesman Fred Enanga said on Tuesday.
He added that the suicide bomber was “on a wanted list” and was a member of the Islamist militant group Allied Democratic Forces (ADF), which operates from the neighboring Democratic Republic of Congo.
Several passengers were injured in Monday’s blast.
On Saturday another blast in a restaurant in Kampala killed one person and injured three others.
The police said Saturday’s blast was caused by an explosive device containing nails and pieces of metal, covered by a plastic bag.
Mr Enanga said investigators had established “a high connectivity” between the two attacks.
“There are individuals or groups of individuals preparing this IED [improvised explosive devices] who (belong to) the same group of attackers,” Mr Enanga said.
