Security Officials in the country have issued an alert over suspected terrorists operating in the region.
In a statement released over the weekend, the Internal Security Organisation (ISO) warned of the possible infiltration of three individuals suspected to be members of Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIS) seeking to “carry out attacks.”
Officials asked the public to remain alert and call on number 0800200009 in case any information regarding the whereabouts of the suspects.
ISIS is known for killing dozens of people at a time and carrying out public executions, crucifixions and other acts. The group is also known for implementing Sharia Law, rooted in eighth-century Islam, to establish a society that mirrors the region’s ancient past.
According to sources, ISIS’s revenue comes from oil production and smuggling, taxes, ransoms from kidnappings, selling stolen artifacts, extortion and controlling crops.
Security officials were able to display photos of the three suspected terrorists but were able to identify only one Rashidi Abdul Tawab, an Afghan national.
“The under listed persons are suspected to be terrorists operating in the Region and could enter Uganda to carry out attacks. Anyone with information about them should report to ISO, Police or any other security agency,” reads in part a warning by ISO released.
