Witnesses in Somalia's capital say a roadside bomb explosion has killed at least 20 people, mostly women. Sunday's early morning blast ripped through a group of female street cleaners. Witnesses counted 15 bodies at the scene, while five other people died after being taken to Mogadishu's Medina Hospital. More than 40 others were injured. No one has claimed responsibility for the blast.
| You can do this stuff for years and years in places where life is cheap. And if it's not cheap you can import some that is. The way to kill it is to chop off the head, ala Zarqawi and Bashayev. |
In a separate incident, Islamist insurgents attacked Ethiopian forces in Mogadishu's Towfiq neighborhood early today. Witnesses say at least three soldiers were killed. |
