A hand grenade exploded at the home of interim Prime Minister Hassan Abshir Farah, injuring four people, two seriously, the police chief in the Somali capital said Saturday. Farah had earlier attempted to play the incident down. "We cannot even rule out the possibility that the hand grenade might have accidentally fallen from one of our armed men," he stated. "There is nothing to worry about." But according to the eyewitnesses, the grenade was tossed from outside the compound and hit a man on the shoulder before it exploded under a tree where Farah's bodyguards were sitting.
"Nothing to worry about. It's just a grenade." |
