Ugandan police have arrested suspects in connection with the killing last month of top state prosecutor Joan Kagezi.
Kagezi was involved in the trial of Islamist militants involved in a suicide attack in Kampala in 2010. Kagezi was gunned down on March 30th .
The attacks which killed 79 people were carried out by the Al shabaab group and were retaliation for Uganda’s contribution of troops to strengthen the Somali government.
The suspects were picked up from a house in a Kampala suburb in a police operation led by the Commissioner in charge of Organized Crime.
Uganda police Inspector General of Police Kale Kayihura said they received information about the suspects just before they moved out of a rented house.
The arrests came days after police said they arrested a man of Somali origin based in Kenya and suspected to be an agent of al-Shabaab militants.
