| Somalia: AU convoy attacked |
| 2008-01-27 |
| A convoy of the African Union peacekeepers in the Somalia capital Mogadishu has been targeted by roadside explosion on Saturday, witnesses said. The peacekeepers’ convoy was heading to the main Mogadishu airport when the explosion happened around former Afisyone military compound. “One of their military vehicles was destroyed by the bomb but I can not confirm the casualty on the soldiers that were riding on it, because the area was cordoned by the other peacekeepers,” said Abdinasir Nor a local resident who witnessed the event. Unconfirmed reports say the attacked troops sustained casualty as the car was ripped off by a remotely controlled bomb. |
