Bomb explodes in Somalia
17/02/2005 13:57  - (SA)  


Mogadishu - At least three people died and seven were injured in a
suspected bombing near a government building on Thursday in the Somali
capital, witnesses said.

The injured, who were taken to hospital after the explosion, were all
in a serious condition, doctors said.

According to Mogadishu residents who witnessed the blast, a
motorcycle, apparently carrying a bomb, had been parked during the
night outside what had been the ministry of foreign affairs. The
explosion occurred at 08:4.

The situation in the Somali capital has become increasingly tense
recently, with the Somali government-in-exile planning to return to
Mogadishu from Kenya. Many powerful armed groups in Mogadishu oppose
the plan to bring along an African Union peacekeeping force to protect
the new government.

A fact-finding team is currently in Mogadishu to assess the situation
ahead of the proposed move - early speculation in Mogadishu was that
the bomb was meant for the AU delegation.

"There was a convoy passing here as the bomb went off, people thought
it was the AU team, but it turned out to be a similar convoy heading
for the airport", said one bystander.

Last week, a British journalist was shot and killed in Mogadishu. The
perpetrator has not been found. - dpa
