Police believe an al-Qaida-linked group is behind the double blast in the African nation that ripped through a rugby club and a restaurant as crowds watched the World Cup soccer final in the capital, Kampala. Several other Americans were among the wounded.

Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton is "strongly condemning" the explosions.

Clinton says the United States will work with the Ugandan government "to bring the perpetrators of this crime to justice."
