President Museveni has said the assassination attempt against former works and transport minister, Gen Edward Katumba Wamala which left his daughter and driver dead, exposed the poor organization of the Uganda police.
Police spokesperson Fred Enanga has told journalists at the police headquarters in Naguru that the 11 attempted terror acts in various places including Jinja District where a vehicle registration number UG 3348C belonging to a former RDC was set ablaze, in Nankulabye, Katwe police station and at the Kasubi Tombs.
Enanga says the terror attacks are mainly championed by disgruntled supporters of opposition politicians who target motorists in traffic jam.
In the meantime, some petrol jerry cans that were impounded upon arrest of the 11 suspects have been taken to the Government Analytical Laboratory for further analysis ahead of a court hearing.

Police in Nsangi, Wakiso District are investigating a case in which a man is accused of killing his wife and maid in a botched rape attempt on Friday morning.
It is alleged that Shaban Musisi, a resident of Kasenge, Kikajjo, Nakilama in Kyengera Town Council in Wakiso District, attempted to rape his housemaid, Scovia Abed, 15, but she made an alarm which attracted his wife, Ruth Nakazi, 40.
Authorities say a quarrel ensued between Musisi and Nakazi before he grabbed a hammer and hit her to death. The housemaid, however, died later in hospital where she had been rushed.
