Somalia: Another suicide car bomb on Ethiopian military compound
2007-04-25
(SomaliNet) A suicide bomber has on Tuesday attacked an Ethiopian forces compound in Afgoye town, 30km south of the Somalia capital Mogadishu. There is no immediate casualty on the Ethiopian forces stationed on a farm belonging to former Somali minister.

Witnesses told Somalinet that an Islamist militant driving a car believed to be containing explosives entered the base and then went off. The explosion rocked the town. The Ethiopian soldiers sealed all roads in and out of Afgoi. It is the third time a suicide bomber attacked the Ethiopian forces since their arrival in the capital late December 2006.

#3  No. The Ethiopians have been shelling the uppity natives. 300,000 have left Mog.

#2  I am curious to see if the Ethiopian response to this entirely foreseeable change of tactics is as weak-kneed as ours has been. Hears to hoping the Ethiopians take a more robust view of dealing with their devil-worshiping neighbors.
