NEWS UPDATE; KADAGA SURVIVES BOMB PLOT The Observer reports of a letter bomb that was sent to the Speaker of parliament, Rebecca Kadaga, with intent to harm her life. It is said that the letter which was meant to be delivered to the Speaker was instead opened by “an attendant at Kadaga’s Parliament office who suffered serious facial injuries”. “The attendant, Herman Kaboggoza, was rushed to Mulago hospital, where he spent a week in intensive care. By Friday, Kaboggoza was reported out of danger, although he is still recuperating at Mulago.” According to reports, Kaboggoza picked the parcel from Kadaga’s mail box at the general post office in Kampala. “When he reached office (Parliament), he opened the parcels and one of them exploded in his face,” a staffer in Kadaga’s office said. “The incident happened a fortnight ago, while Kadaga was out of the country attending international conferences in New Zealand and Geneva (Switzerland).” “According to the Wikipedia, the free online encyclopaedia, a letter bomb, also called parcel bomb, mail bomb or post bomb, is an explosive device sent via the postal service, and designed with the intention to injure or kill the recipient when opened.” This is not the first time the Speaker’s life is threatened with imminent danger.
