Somalia court releases suspects at Kismayu
2007-03-13
(SomaliNet) A court in the Somalia southern port city of Kismayu has released on Monday five detainees who were accused of bombing last monthÂ’s gathering in the city where several senior government officials were wounded. All the released defendants have been freed after they were in jail for 30 days. They were found not guilty, the court said.

On 11 February, several hundred people, including government officials and traditional elders, assembled at Kismayu Freedom Square to welcome SomaliaÂ’s deputy army commander-in-chief, Gen. Abdi Mahdi. At the end of the gathering, a bomb was thrown to the crowds killing a number of soldiers and wounding several top military officials.
