| (SomaliNet) Five people have been killed in a bomb attack aimed at a government official in southern Somalia. A source said three bodyguards and two bystanders died in the attack. The actual target, District Commissioner Hassan Moalim Ahmed, was injured together with six other people. A roadside bomb exploded as the district commissioner's convoy was passing. Baidoa, more than 200 kilometres south of Mogadishu, is the seat of the Somali transitional government, but fundamentalist rebels still control large areas of the countryside. |
