Somalia: Ethiopian soldier killed in Mogadishu blast Thu. August 02, 2007 12:17 pm.- By Mohamed Abdi Farah. - (SomaliNet) An Ethiopian soldier was killed and four others were wounded in a grenade attack, which took place in Ex-control Balad, south of the Somalia capital Mogadishu on Thursday. Witnesses told Somalinet that an unknown local militant hurled a hand grenade bomb at an Ethiopian convoy passing the road around 10:20 am and the soldiers opened fire on all directions in response to the attack. The Ethiopians sealed off the area of the blast stopping all people and cars to use the road. The soldiers were searching the surrounding areas to find the attacker but no one was arrested in connection with the latest bomb. The attack on the Ethiopian soldiers came hours after insurgents launched a mortar attack on the Ethiopian positions in the capital which claimed the lives of eight civilians while dozens were wounded when the mortar shells slammed their houses last night. The Islamic insurgents doubled their hit and run attacks on the positions of the government and its Ethiopian ally forces but the civilians are the most casualties from the attacks.
