Top Obama officials worried U.S. terror attack by Al Shabaab may be next after Uganda bombings

Apprehension that Somali terrorists might phase a brazen attack on America is on the rise after the lethal Uganda bombings, senior Obama administration officials said Tuesday. Al Qaeda-aligned Al Shabaab's attacks in Kampala Sunday that killed 76 World Cup revelers, including one American, might foreshadow a U.S. terror plot, they said.

"There is a anxiety Al Shabaab strength try to carry out alike types of attacks in other venues," a top U.S. official told reporters.

The Raymond Kelly Police Commissioner said he send out a sergeant and three officers to join about 60 other Joint Terrorism Task Force investigators in Uganda. A police officer who was by now based in South Africa for the World Cup is also on his way, Kelly said. Shabaab goons - including some Somali-Americans and Al Qaeda operative who moved to Somalia to flee a CIA drone blitz in Pakistan - have long been targeted by U.S. Special Operations Forces.

Somali militants claim responsibility for Uganda bombings

A Somali Islamist militant movement on Monday claimed with responsibility for a trio of bombings that killed at least 74 people Sunday at two venues in the Ugandan capital where crowds had gathered to watch the World Cup final.

"And the best of men have promised and they have to be delivered," said an Arabic statement issued by Al-Shabaab's press office and obtained by CNN. "Blessed and exalted among men (taking) with full responsibility. ...We wage war against the 6,000 collaborators; they have received their response."

The 6,000 is an apparent reference to the African Union peacekeepers in Somalia. Uganda contributes troops to the peacekeeping effort.

"We are behind the attack because we are at the war with them," Al-Shabaab spokesman Ali Mohamoud Rage told reporters at a news conference in Mogadishu, Somalia.

"We had given warning to the Ugandans to refrain from their involvement in our country. We spoke to the leaders and then we spoke to the people and they never listened to us."

Rage said young suicide bombers carried out the attacks but did not specify their nationalities. "May Allah accept these martyrs who have carried out the blessed operation and exploded themselves in the middle of the infidels," he said.

However, Police Chief Maj. Gen. Kale Kayihura told that reporters arrests have been made in connection with the bombings. He would not say how many people have been arrested or provide details.
