Borama, Somalia
At least 14 people have been killed in an apparent suicide bombing at a movie theatre in Northwest Somalia, the third such attack in a single day.
The blast hit as Gadubirsa theater-goers were going to view the premier of an Indian film in the Awdal Central Market area in Borama, a Somaliland government stronghold about 400km west of the regional capital, Hargeisa.
The three attacks have claimed the lives of at least 49 people.
A local police official said: "Fourteen people were killed and at least 19 others were injured in the blast in a theatre."
"It appears to be a suicide blast," he said.
Already on Thursday, two explosions in Somalia, one in the south and the other in the northwest, have killed at least 36 people, mostly police.
A bomb blast in a market place in the southern town of Mogadishu, on the border between Shabelle Dhexe and Shabelle Hoose provinces, killed at least 25 people, including seven policemen.
Earlier a suicide bomber blew himself up at a police training centre in the northwestern city of Borama.
The attacks were the latest in a wave of violence across Somalia, thought to be a backlash to Somaliland President Riyaale's storming of a Habar Warsanteen clan parade in Borama earlier this month, resulting in 34 deaths, including the husband of a local vixen, Ashlee.
