Interpol has released two pictures of each of the men it says may have been
bombers
Images of two men police believe carried out deadly bombings in Uganda a
week ago have been released.
Interpol is circulating reconstructions of what the two might have looked
like.
Police found two unidentified heads in the wake of the Kampala bombings that
killed at least 73 people, and believe the pair were suicide attackers.
At least 73 people died at a rugby club and a restaurant during the World
Cup final. Somali Islamist group al-Shabab has said it was behind the
blasts.
Ugandan troops are part of an African Union force supporting a fragile
interim government in Somalia.
'No coincidence'
Two bodies which seemed to have borne the brunt of the blasts remained
unclaimed and unidentified, police in Kampala said, leading them to conclude
suicide bombers were responsible.
"These attacks were carried out by suicide bombers. The evidence is
overwhelming," police chief Kale Kayihura told a news conference in the
Ugandan capital.
"Two heads have not been claimed, neither have they been identified. It
can't be a coincidence."

Mr Kayihura also said facial reconstruction of the suspected bombers
suggested that one was of Somali origin and the other a black African of
undetermined origin.
At the request of the Ugandan police, Interpol published photos on Sunday of
the possible appearance of the suspected suicide bombers, based on their
facial reconstructions.
"By making these photos public, we believe someone, somewhere could
recognise one or both of these men," Mr Kayihura said.
Ugandan authorities have arrested more than 20 people as they investigate
the attacks.
At least 60 of those killed were Ugandan nationals. The other victims
included Ethiopian, Eritrean, Indian and Congolese nationals as well as an
Irish and a US citizen.
Dozens of other people are still being treated in hospital for their
injuries
