HARGEISA, April 2 (Reuters) - Two blasts rocked the capital of the breakaway state of Somaliland over the weekend, causing no damage or injuries but shattering the relative stability of the northern Somali enclave.
"There were two explosions on two consecutive nights in Hargeisa. No one was harmed and there was no property damage at all," Somaliland Interior Minister Abdillahi Ismail Ali told reporters on Monday.
Ali said the government had an idea who was behind the blasts, but said police had made no arrests and were still investigating.
"I warn them that they will be arrested ... the people of Somaliland are vigilant and are safeguarding the peace, security and stability in this country," he said.
Somaliland is a former British colony that broke away from the rest of Somalia. It has enjoyed relative peace and carried out democratic elections, but is not internationally recognised.
