“We have received a security notification in
form of an orange notice of four terrorists originating from Kazakhstan who are
planning to travel to foreign countries in order to commit attacks and
participate in hostile acts,” Police spokesperson Judith Nabakooba said in a
statement on Monday.
Nabakooba named the four active members of
radical organizations as; Nassiruauly Kairat, Umurzakov Marat Eskendirovich,
Kovtun Denis Valerevich and Mazhibayen Alimzhan Akhlazhanovich.
By press time, a search on the international
web has not yielded anything on the named persons.Last evening, police said that
in collaboration with other security agencies vigilance has been stepped up to
avert the terrorists’ evil plans.
Police have in the past issued several terror
alerts, the last one having been issued in late September ahead of the Jubilee
celebrations that took place at Kololo airstrip on October 9.
Apart from being watchful of the
neighbourhoods, Nabakooba warned against abandoned items including bags, cars,
boxes, unexpected gifts, mails and parcels, abandoned suitcases and trash
cans.
The list also includes: radios, cameras, mobile
phones, televisions and any other items with loose wires attached to them. She
also urged the public to alert police about suspicious liquids in abandoned
bottles.
She urged bus and commuter taxi owners and
operators, to put in place enhanced access control, and internal security
measures both in the parks, and the vehicles.
