| (SomaliNet) Two people were killed and five others were wounded when a bomb exploded in Bakara market, south of the Somalia capital Mogadishu on Monday – as the city entered its fifth consecutive day of massive search operations for weapons and hunting down what the Somalia’s government called ‘the terror groups’. The blast happened this morning in the market’s gold selling section when an unknown man thrown a hand grenade at the government soldiers who were in the act of the search operations. The bomb is said to have missed the target and killed two civilians and wounded five others in the market. “I became very scared when the explosion happened, I saw two persons laying on the ground and their bodies covered with blood, I was sure that they were dead, I was so lucky to have survived, it was a terrible incident,” said Nasro Abdulahi, among the women gold sellers. Adding “I don’t want to stay here longer because it is becoming more dangerous,” Shortly after the bomb attack, the government soldiers sealed off the area of the explosion but no one was arrested for the latest bomb attack. There is no group who claims the responsibility of the bombings in Mogadishu. The business people in Bakara market, the biggest hub in southern Somalia expressed their deep concern over the siege by the government soldiers. |
