(SomaliNet) Two people have been killed and another one was wounded in bomb explosion in north of Mogadishu in Somalia overnight – it looks like to be the first bomb attack against the interim government but missed the target. Witnesses told SomaliNet that two unknown militiamen have thrown a hand grenade to a house near Ramadan Hotel in north of the Somalia capital where the Ethiopian backed government troops were staying. The bomb killed a mother and her daughter and injured the father, Ahmed Iyow Jimale, local resident said. “The explosion happened around 9:30 pm last night.”
Mother Sahro Abshir Farah and her daughter Ayan Ahmed Iyow passed away as the bomb exploded inside their house but the father got light injury. No word yet from the transitional government officials in the capital on the latest bomb attack.
It is not clear who was behind last nightÂ’s deadly explosion. The explosion came hours after the Islamist leader called for the Somali people to resist what he called Â’the Ethiopian forces that occupied the country.Â’
Meanwhile, some people, most of them children and women, staged demonstrations against the Ethiopian troops in Mogadishu. Another opposite demonstration, in which demonstrators were supporting the arrival of the Ethiopians, has taken place in Mogadishu on Saturday.
