He said that the sponsors of terrorism, are trying hard to reconstitute and re-establish operational terror cells and related capabilities where their operational cells are mobile, autonomous, and flexible in the range of their targets or objectives.

The police mouthpiece, further noted that they have credible information indicating that, these hostile groups are determined to carry out attacks to reveal their existence.

“Our task teams are aware of these threats, of smaller but operational terror cells. We are putting more attention on eliminating them and preventing them from being created,” he said.

He said the tactics include use of suicide bombers, attacks on VIP’s and security personnel, ride along shoot and kill, on bodabodas, use of AK 47 SMG random attacks and bomber attacks.

Enanga noted that the arrests and disruptive operations made are proof of the reality, that there are individuals in Uganda, who have become radicalized to violence and are willing to act upon it, adding “We are doing every thing in our means to disrupt their mobility and proliferation.”

He thanked the local communities who furnished them with relevant information about these hostile cells, that had started recruiting individuals for terrorism purposes.

Enanga called for increased vigilance and caution saying the threats are real.
