| (SomaliNet) A remote controlled roadside bomb explosion has occurred in the SomaliaÂ’s northwest city of Baidoa on Thursday which aimed to destroy Ethiopian convoy, witnesses said. According to local journalists, the blast happened as Ethiopian military vehicle was passing near the bridge in the city. No casualty was reported on the Ethiopian soldiers as the scene was sealed off by the security forces in Baidoa where they began searching for any suspects. No group has yet claimed the responsibility for the latest bomb attack. Elsewhere, armed militants have hurled a grenade bomb into local government office in Baidoa wounding seven people. Six of the wounded were the government workers. Local medical sources in Biadoa say that at least eight wounded people were reached to the hospital today alone. Some of the business centers were closed due to the latest bomb explosions. No one has been arrested for the attack so far. Tension has gone high this morning in Baidoa, the temporary base of the federal parliament as the security forces are trying to restore the situation into normal.
