Somalia: Grenade Attack Kills Two in Mogadishu

MogadishuA grenade attack in Somalia's capital Mogadishu on Wednesday has left two people dead, the latest in series of attacks against Somali and AU forces in the city since Al shabab's pull out, according to Eyewitnesses.

On Wednesday, unidentified assailants hurled a grenade into an army checkpoint at Bar-ubax junction in central Mogadishu, killing two.

"The soldiers fired back following the blast, killing two bystanders while several others sustained sever injures and were rushed to a hospital for proper treatment," a witness told Shabelle Media by phone from the scene.

Somali Security forces mounting in pick-ups have arrived at the scene and halted temporally the entire public movement and transportation during their operations in the area.

"The situation is now calm and things have returned into normal. No one was arrested over the explosion so far by the forces," another witness confirmed.

No group has yet claimed the responsibility for the attack.
