(SomaliNet) A remote controlled roadside bomb has exploded on Wednesday in central Beledweyn city, 335km north of the Somalia capital Mogadishu wounding three people. It was an attack targeted on a convoy carrying the governor of Hiran region Yusuf Ahmed Dabaged. Mr. Ahmed is said to have survived from the attack. Two of the injured were civilians as the other one was among the governorÂ’s security guards.
The bomb went off around 12:00 pm local time as the ruler was supervising the government prisons in Beledweyn. Soon after the incident, the security forces sealed off the area and began investigations to find the plotters but no one was arrested so far.
It is the second attack aimed to kill Mr. Ahmed since he was appointed as the governor of Hiran region.
