| (SomaliNet) At least three people were killed and 18 others wounded yesterday when grenade bomb exploded inside the livestock market in Afgoie town, 30 kilometers south of the Somalia capital Mogadishu, witnesses said. According to the witness, the bomb was targeting on municipals that were collecting taxes inside the market but the explosion killed three civilians, one of whom was businessman. Among the victims was a teenage boy who was killed in the blast. After the incident, the security forces cordoned the scene of the explosion and began investigations over who was behind the latest bomb attack. By yesterday, no one was arrested for the attack as the police commander in the town pledged that they will pursue the plotters. Like wise, no group had claimed the responsibility of the attack as Afgoie town had seen several times of bombings. |
