Attack in Somalia: Bodies of Ugandan Soldiers Returned Home

The bodies of eight soldiers killed in the Sunday al-Shabaab attacks in Somalia have been returned home. In a tweet, President Yoweri Museveni praised the soldiers for a spirited fight against the militants, whom he said had six vehicles that were loaded with explosives. "It is gratifying, however, that the bold but adventurous strategy of al-Shabaab failed. With constant vigilance, victory is assured. I congratulate our soldiers for the good work they did."
