Last evening Thursday April 8, Dr Kizza Besigye survived an assassination attempt by NRM fanatics. It was during a rally at Maddu near Museveni’s Kisozi Ranch. One of the soldiers from the ranch armed with a pistol climbed to the bonet of KB’s car from where he was addressing a big rally, grabbed FDC President and tried to strangle him. The public moved in quickly and pulled the man away. The man was whisked away by about 10 soldier colleagues all from Kisozi. The attacker is known in the area as John Bisaso, notorious and said to be married to a close relative of Janet Museveni.
KB is right now about to address a press conference at Kasangati.
Details later.
