乌干达指责索马里穆斯林制造了64人丧生的爆炸事件

Ugandan officials suspect the Somali extremist group al-Shabab was behind two bombings that killed 64 people and injured 65 as the victims watched the World Cup final in Kampala.

乌干达官员怀疑是索马里极端组织青年党策划了首都坎帕拉的两起爆炸事件，至少有64人在观看世界杯决赛的时候被炸死，65人被炸伤。

World leaders condemned the attack and pledged their support for the government of Uganda, which has thousands of troops in Somalia to defend the U.N.-backed government against al-Shabab and other militant groups.

世界各国领导人谴责这次攻击，他们保证支持乌干达政府。乌干达政府派遣了数以千计的军队到索马里保护联合国支持的政府，打击青年党和其他激进组织。

The government said one bomb struck at a rugby club, killing 49 people as they watched the match Sunday night on large-screen TVs. The other killed 15 at an Ethiopian restaurant in a neighborhood popular with foreigners. A spokesman said there were indications the attacks were caused by by suicide bombers wearing explosives belts.

乌干达政府说，星期天一枚炸弹攻击了一个英式橄榄球俱乐部，炸死49名通过大电视屏幕观看世界杯决赛的民众。另一枚炸弹炸死十五人，这些遇难者是在一家外国人经常光顾的埃塞俄比亚餐厅就餐的人。政府发言人说，有迹象显示，发动攻击的是带着炸药腰带的自杀式爆炸手。

The head of Uganda's police (Kale Kayijura) linked the attacks to recent threats from al-Shabab, which has links to al-Qaida. If so, it would be the group's first attack outside Somalia.

乌干达警方负责人把这次攻击跟青年党的威胁相联系。这个组织跟基地组织有关。如果属实，这是青年党第一次在索马里境外发动攻击。
