KAMPALA, Uganda — Ugandan police are investigating an explosion on a long-distance bus that killed one person Monday, the second fatal blast in less than 48 hours in the East African country. Initially, police had said two people on the bus were killed but later said there had been one death, without explaining the revision. On Saturday, a bomb explosion at an eatery in a busy Kampala suburb killed one person. The extremist group said in a statement late Sunday that it detonated an explosive device at the eatery allegedly “frequented by elements and spies” with Uganda’s government.
