Police find suicide vest in hunt for bombers

UGANDAN police have recovered an unexploded suicide vest and arrested six people suspected of planning bombings that killed 76 people, including an Irish woman, on Sunday.

Marie Smith, a 51-year-old lay missionary worker from Dublin, was among those who died as a result of the two bomb blasts in the Ugandan capital, Kampala.

Her death brings to 90 the number of Irish people who have died while abroad this year.
