The security teams are checking whoever is entering and moving out of Qualicel bus terminal at Nakivubo and Kalita bus park.
Early last month, Police issued a terror alert in which all security agencies and members of public were told to report any suspicious people and particularly suspicious Land Cruiser vehicles.
Four vehicles reportedly carrying terrorists were suspected to have sneaked into the country using the Kenya-Uganda border.
