Suspect of Kampala blasts arrested in northeastern Tanzania
 (Xinhua) -- The Tanzanian police authority has jugged in Arusha in northeast of the country a man suspected to have been involved in the terror bombings in Kampala, Uganda in July.The arrest was confirmed by the Arusha Regional Police Commander Basilio Matei, who said that the suspect was transferred to Dar es Salaam for further interrogation, the local media reported on Monday. The suspect was identified as Abudaumaki Majidi, allegedly a Somali national, and was apprehended over the weekend at a suburb in Arusha, where he had sought temporary shelter, the report said. Informers tipped off the police in the area of Majidi's hiding, which contributed to the arrest of the suspect, it added. The authorities in Uganda and Kenya have already detained a number of other people they believe were connected to the bombings. Earlier this month, a Mombasa-based radio presenter Habib Suleiman Njoroge was jugged in connection with the bombings, bringing to five the number of people jugged in Mombasa in connection with the incident, the report said. Late last month, a Ugandan court charged three people after arresting about 20 others in connection with the attacks. The July 11 terror bombings hit two different places in Kampala, the Ugandan capital, leaving at least 74 people killed and many others seriously injured while they were watching the World Cup Final.
