Somalia: Roadside Bomb Blasts as Ethiopian Convoy Passes
29/06/07,
A huge bomb blast occurred around SOS hospital in north of the capital, Mogadishu,
on Thursday afternoon.
Witnesses said the roadside bomb exploded when an Ethiopian military convoy was
passing by the road near SOS hospital.
Casualties have not yet been reported.
Two Ethiopian troops were killed in Mogadishu on Thursday after their convoy hit a
roadside bomb in north Mogadishu, the Somali capital on Thursday.
Witnesses said they saw two Ethiopian soldiers who were killed by the blast. The
Ethiopians and the Somali soldiers opened fire following the blast which rocked
north Mogadishu around 7: 50 A.M. local time, witnesses said.
"They were two military pick-up trucks and a mixture of Somali and Ethiopian troops were
onboard. When the bomb blew up four soldiers fell off the second car. Two were wounded and
two others were dead," said a grass seller, who asked to remain anonymous because he was
afraid of reprisal.
The witness said the two who died in the blast were Ethiopians, indicating that he was
only 10 meters away from the incident area.
Shabelle reporter, Hirabe, who went to the area where the explosion took place, said a
large number of Ethiopian troops sealed off the area. He said two shop owners near the
scene were also wounded.
