                Five Sentenced to Life for 2010 Uganda Bombings

   A Ugandan court has sentenced five men to life in prison for their
   roles in bombings that killed 76 people in July 2010.

   Judge Alfonse Owiny-Dollo handed down the sentences Friday, a day after
   he found the men guilty on a range of charges including terrorism.  Two
   other accomplices received prison terms of 50 years.

   Somali militant group al-Shabab claimed responsibility for the
   bombings, which targeted football fans at a restaurant and a rugby club
   in Kampala who had gathered to watch the final of that year's World
   Cup.

   The militants said the attacks were a warning to Uganda to withdraw its
   troops from the African Union mission fighting al-Shabab in Somalia.

   The judge named Issa Ahmed Luyima, a Ugandan national, as the
   mastermind of the attacks.
