Kampala - Gunmen on Monday shot dead a top Ugandan state prosecutor whose cases include the trial of 13 men accused of involvement in al-Shebaab bomb attacks that killed 76 people in 2010, police said.
Joan Kagezi, acting assistant director of public prosecution, was assassinated by men on a motorbike early Monday evening as she was driving home in a suburb of the capital, Kampala police spokesperson Patrick Onyango said.
"They were trailing her on a motorcycle.... They shot her dead," Onyango said.
