Top Ugandan state prosecutor Joan Kagezi involved in the trial of 13 men who allegedly conducted a deadly al-Shabab bomb attack, has been shot dead in the capital city, Kampala.
According to BBC, Kagezi was shot dead on a motorcycle by gunmen on her way home.
In 2010, the suicide bomb attack in Kampala had killed 76 people as they watched the football World Cup final.
The embassy of the United States in Kampala had warned last week that Westerners including Americans may be the target of terrorist attack in Kampala.
Kagezi headed the directorate of public prosecution's anti-terrorism and war crimes division.
