I owe people an apology: Justice Hegde
"It was a mistake and I admit it. So, I request the people to forgive me. It was not L K Advani's appeal alone __ I decided to withdraw my resignation bowing to appeals and affection of the people of Karnataka, innumerable institutions and dignitaries,'' said Lokayukta Justice N Santosh Hegde on Monday. The Lokayukta said he will meet the governor on July 7 and formally withdraw his resignation. "But before that, I will seek his apology too for not informing him before I made the announcement. It was my duty to inform him before going to the media. I will explain the circumstances under which I was forced to announce the decision..."
Uganda bombings kill 70; Islamists suspected.
Bomb attacks ripped through crowds watching the World Cup final in Kampala, killing 74 and wounding scores in blasts blamed on al-Qaida-linked militants in Somalia, officials said Monday.
No group claimed responsibility for the carnage at a Kampala sports bar and an Ethiopian restaurant but Uganda pointed at Shebab insurgents in Somalia, where Uganda has thousands of troops deployed in an African Union mission.
At least one American was among those killed in the explosions, which U.S. President Barack Obama swiftly condemned as "cowardly".
The attacks came days ahead of the July 19-27 African Union summit in Kampala, which the government said would go ahead as planned.
"The latest official count is 74 confirmed," Fred Opolot, a Ugandan government spokesman, told AFP without elaborating. The previous death toll provided by the police stood at 64.
He said the nationalities of the victims were still being established and added that police were trying to determine if suicide bombers carried out the attacks.
"While there is evidence to suggest that there were suicide bombers, at the same time it is thought that the bombs were under some chairs," he told reporters.
