The Islamic State has claimed responsibility for a deadly bombing during Sunday worship at a Protestant church service on Sunday in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
At least 10 people were killed and more than three dozen were injured in the terrorist attack.
The attack on the Allied Democratic Forces, an armed group in eastern Congo that is an affiliate of the Islamic State, linked the officials of the Congolese government.
“The attackers used an IED to carry out the attack and we suspect ADF is behind the attack,” Bilal Katamba, the spokesman for Uganda’s military operation, told AFP.
The Islamic State later claimed responsibility for the attack on its Telegram account.
The church bombing occurred just weeks before Pope Francis is set to travel to the Democratic Republic of Congo at the end of this month.
