| 2007-05-29 |
| (SomaliNet) Security forces in Mogadishu, Somalia have on Monday night foiled an attempt to explode a roadside bomb near the main city’s airport blocking all roads in and out of that area. Residents informed the nearby government forces about an explosive device on Afisyone road leading to the airport in south of the capital. Heavily armed troops rushed to the area and removed a remote controlled landmine which was buried at the roadside. “The plotters escaped and sneaked through the village after they planted the bomb. However, the government soldiers reached the area quickly and defused the bomb. They also closed all roads,” said one resident who declined to be named. |
