 Texas man arrested with 75 pounds of marijuana in luggage while flying to London, police say A Texas man was arrested at Miami International Airport after authorities found 75 pounds of marijuana in his luggage before he could board a flight to London.

 Uganda army chief reports 30 opposition deaths, 2,000 arrests


Uganda's army chief and son of newly re-elected President Yoweri Museveni said on Friday that 30 opposition supporters had been killed and 2,000 detained in the wake of the vote.


"We have arrested over 2,000 hooligans that Kabobi thought he would use," army chief Muhoozi Kainerugaba wrote on X, using his nickname for Wine.


"So far we have killed 30 NUP terrorists," he said, referring to Wine's party, the National Unity Platform.


Opposition leader Bobi Wine remained in hiding on Friday after accusing security forces of raiding his home in the aftermath of the election on January 15.


He has described the election as "blatant theft" and called for protests.


Museveni, 81, won a seventh term in office with 72 percent of the vote to Wine's 25 percent, according to the Electoral Commission.


President Yoweri Museveni told the nation on Sunday that his landslide victory in Uganda's election showed “a good taste of the strength” of his party, known as the National Resistance Movement.


Among those arrested in recent days is opposition lawmaker Muwanga Kivumbi from the Butambala area of central Uganda, where the most serious election day violence was reported.


Kivumbi told AFP that security forces had killed 10 of his campaign agents after storming his home, while police said his supporters had been shot after attempting to burn down a vote-tallying centre and police station.
