rudy-Diiriye Posted July 6, 2007 Somalia: Mogadishu violence escalates Two heavy explosions have happened late Thursday in the main Bakara market, south of the Somalia capital Mogadishu where the allied forces of Ethiopia and Somalia are conducting joint operations searching for weapons and remnants of the ousted Islamic Courts Union. It is not yet clear what exactly were the blasts which occurred around 3:45pm local time but local residents told Somalinet that the explosions were caused by hand grenades thrown to the forces. There are no immediate casualties on the soldiers as all the main roads of the capital are blocked with troops deployed every ally in the southern parts of the capital. An exchange of gunfire which lasted for 15 minutes followed the explosions. All businesses in southern parts of the capital were closed and cars were barred to move inside the city. The house to house search came hours after Mogadishu’s mayor Mohamed Omar Habeb ‘Mohamed Dhere’ has narrowly escaped a roadside bomb attack in Shibis neighborhood, north of the Somali capital in early Thursday morning. Witnessed told Somalinet that the bomb exploded when the convoy carrying the mayor was close to the site where the bomb was planted. The bodyguardsof Mr. Dheere fired gunshots at every direction in the area. Reports say that it was an attempt of Mohamed Dhere’s life. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
