Mogadishu Bomb attack wounds soldiers, gunfire rages
2007-07-06
(SomaliNet) Three government soldiers were confirmed wounded in bomb explosions on the police station in Waberi district, south of the Somalia capital Mogadishu late Wednesday after two nights of lull. Unknown gunmen have thrown two hand grenade bombs on the police station around 7:28pm local time, according to local resident.

Soon after the bomb attack, the police in the station opened fire but did not succeed to find the attackers. The area of the blast was sealed off as the police began investigation in time of curfew. No one was arrested for the latest bomb attacks so far.

Minutes after, other explosions and exchange of gunfire could be heard on the Wadnaha road in Howlwadag district, south of the capital but it is unclear who was fighting who. Mogadishu has been quiet for the past two days.

The latest bomb explosions which are the part of the acts against the government and the presence of the Ethiopian forces came as the capital received 3,000 additional new policemen to restore peace and security in Mogadishu.
