Uganda's military forces captured Hamza Lyavara last week. He works as a religious leader but military officials believe he helped terrorist groups. The man gave false reports to Uganda's army intelligence teams. He pretended to share helpful secrets about enemy activities. Army leaders think he actually worked for the Allied Democratic Forces terror group.
Two senior army intelligence officers also face arrest during this investigation. Colonel Peter Ahimbisibwe runs counter terrorism operations for the military. Lieutenant Colonel Ephraim Byaruhanga leads special military missions. Both men work at the main intelligence building near Kampala. Army commanders suspect their departments received bad information from enemy sources.
Meddie Nkalubo leads the Allied Democratic Forces terrorist organization. Uganda's military reported killing him during air attacks last year. President Museveni announced Nkalubo's death on television broadcasts. Security agencies celebrated what they thought was a major victory. Recent evidence shows Nkalubo remains alive and continues leading terrorist operations.
Military experts compare this case to a famous intelligence failure from Afghanistan. A double agent fooled American spy agencies for many months before attacking their base. The incident killed seven American intelligence workers during a suicide bombing. Uganda's military fears they suffered similar deception from Lyavara. Defense forces continue investigating how enemy agents penetrated their intelligence systems.
