At least 23 people, including one American, have been killed in twin blast in the Ugandan capital Kampala, in Africa.

It is not known what caused the blasts, which police said went off at a rugby club and at a restaurant, as football fans watched the World Cup final.

"These bombs were definitely targeting World Cup crowds," Inspector General of Police Kale Kayihura said.

Somali militants have in the past threatened to attack Kampala; Ugandan troops are deployed in Mogadishu.

At APX, we have run reports locate travellers in the area, and all travellers scheduled to fly into or out of the affected area during the month of July 2010 have been contacted.
