US warns of deadly attack planned on Air Uganda flight

The United States has warned that “regional extremists” were planning an attack on Air Uganda flights between southern Sudan and Kampala, the capital city of Uganda.

Uganda’s army said it was aware of the threat and was taking precautions. “We are a constant target of these extremists and are always alert, so there is no cause for alarm,” said Uganda’s army spokesman, Major Felix Kulayigye.
