POLICE have arrested a second batch of suspects in connection to last Sunday's terrorist attacks in Kampala which killed 76.
The two explosions are thought to have been carried out by suicide bombers.
Six others had already been arrested.
Al-Shabaab, the Islamist insurgents who fight to overthrow the UN-backed government in Somalia, have claimed responsibility for the attacks.
The police said the suspects came from Uganda, Somalia and Ethiopia.
The arrests come as Ugana is preparing to host the 15 African Union summit meeting this month; more than 50 African heads of state are expected to attend.
Uganda has 3,500 soldiers in Somalia's capital Mogadishu defending the government under the auspices of the African Union.
