( CNN ) -- The Ugandan government paraded four suspects in last month 's deadly bombings in Kampala before reporters Thursday , with one of the men calling himself an `` evil man . '' `` I know no one can believe that I did this evil , '' said one suspect , Idris Nsubuga , who spoke at a press conference organized by government officials . `` ... But deep down in me I broke down -- honestly I did n't know the impact of those explosives . '' A series of bomb blasts that Ugandan police say were likely set off by suicide bombers tore through an Ethiopian restaurant and a rugby center during a World Cup match July 11 , killing 79 people . The government raised the death toll , which it had previously set at 76 , on Thursday . `` Now before you I have these four individuals , they are all Ugandans , and these are the ones who are responsible for the execution of the operation , '' Uganda 's chief military intelligence officer , James Mugira , said at the Thursday press conference . `` We have apprehended all those who are responsible for financing , planning and execution of the operation , '' he said . Uganda announced last month that it had charged three people in connection with the bomb blasts , saying they were extradited from Kenya . At a separate press conference Thursday , Ugandan Maj. Gen. Kale Kayihura said he believed the four men presented on are members of al Qaeda . One of the suspects cried at Thursday 's event . Nsubuga , 30 , recalled his thoughts and actions on the night of the bombings . `` I was tense -- I called a friend just to relieve myself of the tension just to know how the match was , '' he said , referring to his time waiting at the rugby center and wondering about the World Cup finals . `` I had just finished talking to that friend a few minutes passed , and that 's when the first blast went off , '' Nsubuga said . `` It scared me , and I reached in my pocket and pulled out the other phone and called that number . '' That call triggered another bomb . `` I want to extend my sincere apologies to the families and friends of all those who perished in that tragic night , '' Nsubuga said . `` I thought by answering this call my life would be better , '' he said . `` But it changed it entirely -- I 've never been the same since then . '' The Al-Shabaab militant group , which is currently battling the weak transitional government in war-torn Somalia , has claimed responsibility for the bombings . Members of the group have said they were acting in retaliation for Uganda 's contribution of troops for peacekeeping operations in Somalia , which has been at war for nearly two decades . Authorities in Uganda and Kenya previously said they had made more than 20 arrests in connection with the blasts .
79 of the suspects called himself and `` evil man '' Kenya government raised the death toll from the Thursday attacks to One . An official says , `` We have apprehended all those who are responsible '' for the attack . A Ugandan official said he believes the four suspects are members of CNN .
