Counter-terrorism police then shot dead a man who they said was carrying a device intended to set off a third explosion.Police said that seven people, including three suicide-bombers, died in the blasts, which injured another 36 people. They were quick to blame “radicalised groups” linked to the Allied Democratic Forces (), a rebel outfit based in the neighbouring Democratic Republic of Congo.
