Somali government forces and their Ethiopian allies have been targeted with two roadside bombs
in Somalia's chaotic capital city today.
One of the two explosions which were minutes only apart has targeted an Ethiopian military
convoy which was passing near Sanca square in north Mogadishu while the second targeted
a Somali police convoy which was driving by Afarta Jirdino square.
Residents in the neighborhood have confirmed Shabelle Media Network that two police officers
got wounded in the later attack while it is also reported that Ethiopian forces have also
suffered casualty.
Forces from the transitional federal government of Somalia have cordoned off the area of
the attacks and are carrying out search operations.
There are reports that many people in the area have been arrested.
These attacks coincide with as Ethiopian forces and their Somali allies carry out army
search operations in the capital and massive cache of weapons have been seized during
those operations.
