(SomaliNet) A remote controlled landmine bomb ripped through Ethiopian military convoy in Beledwein city 360km north of the Somalia capital Mogadishu on Wednesday killing at least four and wounding number of others, sources confirmed to Somalinet. The governor of Beledwein Hussein Mohamed Malin blamed the latest bomb blast on the remnants of the defeated Islamists. “We are pursuing the culprits and we will arrest them as soon as possible,” said the governor.
According to Ali Hassan, one of local residents in Beledwein, the explosion happened inside the city around 9:30 am local time as convoy carrying Ethiopian soldiers was passing on the second bridge. One of their trucks tore apart when it ran over an anti tank landmine.
As soon as the blast cut through the convoy, the Ethiopian soldiers opened fire on all directions killing and wounding passersby.
