(SomaliNet) Mogadishu mayor Mohamed Omar Habeb ‘Mohamed Dhere’ today survived a remote controlled roadside bomb attack in Shibis district, north of the Somalia capital Mogadishu early Thursday. Eyewitnesses told Somalinet that the explosion missed the car in which the mayor was traveling. Soon after the blast, the bodyguards opened fire in all directions but did not succeed to find the plotters. No soldier was hurt in the latest bomb attack. The attempt killing on the city mayor prompted massive house to house search operations carried out by the Ethiopian forces in the capital. The key roads of the southern parts of the capital like wadnaha and Sodonka were cut off as the allied forces backed by tanks scattered in all alleyways searching for weapons.
