Gunmen have attacked and wounded Uganda's former army commander killing his daughter and driver in an assassination attempt.
According to media reports, four gunmen on motorcycles opened fire at a vehicle ferrying General Katumba Wamala, the Minister of Works and Transport in the suburbs of Kampala.
"There was a shooting involving him … he is hurt and he’s been taken to the hospital, his driver was killed,” army spokeswoman Brigadier Flavia Byekwaso said.
Wamala's daughter who was in the back seat with him was also killed.
Images circulating on social media showed Wamala in apparent distress standing outside his SUV with his light-coloured trousers splurted with blood.
