3 officers killed in Somali blasts
 Massive explosions targeting military forces in southwestern Somali region have killed three military officers and injured 10 others. The blast on Tuesday destroyed a house in Beled Hawo, second largest city in Gedo region near the Kenyan border, where the officers were attending a meeting, Press TV correspondent in Mogadishu reported. The officers from Mareehan clan were planning to launch an offensive aimed at recapturing the strategic Kismayu town, partly controlled by anti-government rebels, he said. No group has claimed responsibility for the latest attack on military forces. Beled Hawo is frequently plagued by insurgent attacks against Somali government force and their Ethiopian military allies. Posted by: Fred 2008-10-29 |
