A Ugandan soldier has killed seven people, including three children, in a shooting spree at a military police barracks in the capital, Kampala.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The soldier, Sgt Isaac Obua, was then shot dead himself.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Military police spokesman Maj Edward Birungi said Sgt Obua had had a dispute with his wife.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He is reported to have got drunk and then started shooting while searching for his wife, who managed to escape.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
As well as the three children, Sgt Obua killed a female soldier and three soldiers' wives. Two others are said to be injured during the shooting at Makindye barracks in the south of Kampala.</div>

Army spokesperson Lt Col Paddy Ankunda tweeted "Sgt Obua... has just gone bonkers killed seven people".</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He then tweeted: "We are all mourning."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

A judge has given life sentences to five men convicted of carrying out twin bombings which killed 76 people who were watching the 2010 World Cup final in the Ugandan capital Kampala.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The men were convicted of terrorism Thursday and prosecutors had asked for the death penalty. Two others convicted of similar charges were given 50 years in jail. One suspect convicted of being an accessory to terrorism was sentenced to a year of community service.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Five others were acquitted.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The attacks, for which the Somali armed group al-Shabab claimed responsibility, targeted a rugby club and a restaurant where customers were watching the World Cup final on giant screens.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The alleged mastermind of the attacks, a Ugandan named Issa Luyima, is among those given life terms.</div>
