Ethiopian convoy attacked at Mogadishu outskirt (again)
2007-03-11
(SomaliNet) An Ethiopian army convoy was hit by a bomb explosion in lower Shabelle region, southern Somalia on late Saturday – attacks against foreign troops continue in Somalia as remnants of the toppled Islamists regroup.

There is no immediate casualty on the latest bomb blast. The explosion took place in No.60 town, some 60km southwest of the capital as a convoy of dozens of Ethiopian military vehicles was passing there. It is not known whether it was a roadside bomb or a rocket. Some reports say it was a roadside bomb aimed to explode on the convoy.
Sounds like the Islamic Courts are picking up tricks from their cousins in Afghanistan and Iraq ...
Shortly after the explosion, the Ethiopian military convoy stopped and the soldiers began searching the area looking for suspects but they held no one for the attack so far. The soldiers were heading to Mogadishu.
