"What happened in Kampala is just the beginning," Mohamed Abdi Godane, also known as Abu Zubayr, said in an audio message broadcast on several Mogadishu radio stations.

At least 73 people were killed in bomb explosions targeting two Kampala entertainment spots where crowds of people had gathered to watch the football World Cup final on July 11.
