Dawn Explosions rock Ethiopian troops in Beledweyne town
2012-07-18
(Sh. M. Network)-Deadly multiple blasts are reportedly rocked on Tuesday Æthiopian troops in Somalia's central town of Beledweyne, a town which is under the control of Somali government soldiers and its allied Æthiopian troops, reports said.

Eyewitnesses confirmed to Shabelle Media that roadside kabooms targeted Æthiopian forces as they were walking east of Beledweyne, but could not verify the exact number of casualties to the Æthiopian military.

Following the blasts Æthiopian forces momentarily halted business and public transportation operations, opening fire at nearby crowds indiscriminately, but No deaths reported.

No Æthiopian military front man has briefed the media on the incident.

Beledweyne, 350 kilometers north of Mogadishu, and a trading hub near the Æthiopian border, has witnessed a string of attacks and co-coordinated killings against soldiers and civilians since Al shabab vacated at the end of last year without fighting.
