Fears Irish woman killed in Uganda

AN Irish citizen is believed to have been among more than 70 people killed in bomb attacks in Uganda as they watched the World Cup final.

The Department of Foreign Affairs said it is providing consular assistance to the family of the woman, thought to be aged 50.

The extreme Somali group al-Shabab carried out the attacks that left at least 74 dead at a rugby club and restaurant in the capital Kampala.
