KAMPALA, Uganda (AP) _ Some of the victims of Sunday’s twin terror bombings in Kampala, Uganda, have been laid to rest. The attacks left nearly 80 dead. There were funerals Tuesday in Kampala.

A Somali group previously linked to al-Qaida is claiming responsibility for setting off the explosions as people gathered at two locations to watch broadcasts of the World Cup.

The injured included missionaries from Christ Community United Methodist Church, near Selinsgrove, Pennsylvania. The church has been working with a Pentecostal church in Kampala for years and volunteers had helped build a wall around the church and a school.
