An al Qaeda-linked terrorist group from Somalia has claimed responsibility for Sunday’s bombings in Uganda that killed 74 people. “We will carry out attacks against our enemy wherever they are,” said Sheikh Ali Mohamud Rage, a spokesman for al Shabab. The group previously made headlines for recruiting young Somali-Americans. One of the targets of the bombings was an Ethiopian restaurant—a nation which kept troops in Somalia until January 2009 and is a longtime enemy of al Shabab.
