One minute they were just enjoying the World Cup final, celebrating the final stages of this great global event. The next, they were caught up in a deadly massacre. Two co-ordinated bombs exploded at two locations in the Ugandan capital Kampala, targeting crowds watching the World Cup. More than 60 people were killed and many more injured. The blasts have drawn attention to the conflict in Somalia as fingers point to Islamist rebels in the war-torn country.Ugandan authorities believe Somalia's al-Shabab group is behind the attacks.
