In July 2010, two bombs went off at a rugby club in Uganda's capital Kampala. It was where hundreds had gathered to watch the football World Cup final.
The attack killed 74 people and injured 85 others.
The militant Islamist group al-Shabab staged the attack, as revenge for Uganda's efforts to fight it in Somalia.
Kuddzu Isaac, who witnessed the explosions, tells George Crafer the graphic details of what he saw.
