At least two people died and several were wounded on Monday in an explosion on a bus near Kampala, police said, two days after a deadly attack in the Ugandan capital claimed by the Islamic State group.
Ugandan police spokesman Fred Enanga said bomb specialists were sent to Lungala following a deadly explosion in a bus belonging to the firm Swift Safaris around 5 pm (1400 GMT). (AFP)
Facebook on Monday said it quickly introduced measures to remove the abusive comments against Indian cricketer Mohammed Shami, who faced criticism on social media following the national team's first-ever loss to Pakistan in World Cup history.
The US-based company, which has itself been courting controversy over its handling of hate speech in India, said it will "continue to take action against those that violate its Community Standards".
"No one should have to experience abuse anywhere, and we don't want it on our platforms. We quickly introduced measures to remove the comments that directed abuse at an Indian cricketer and we'll continue to take action against those that violate our Community Standards," a Facebook spokesperson said.
