Bomb explodes near Somalia PM’s convoy  

 

MOGADISHU • Somali Prime Minister Ali Mohamed Gedi escaped unharmed after his convoy hit a landmine that failed to explode in northern Mogadishu, a Somali official said yesterday.

Gedi was heading to a ceremony at the capital's main airport for the departure of the bodies of four Ugandan African Union peacekeepers killed the previous day. Officials initially said he was leaving the airport for security reasons.

"A landmine which was planted to hurt the Somali prime minister failed to detonate," an official from Gedi's office said. He said the landmine let off huge clouds of smoke. A witness said the prime minister's officials jumped off their vehicles and fired into the air after hitting the landmine.

"Some suspects have been apprehended by the police who are investigating the matter," Somali Deputy Defence Minister Salad Ali Jelle said.

No one was injured in the incident in the Juba neighbourhood of northern Mogadishu, the third attempt on Gedi's life since he was nominated to head Somalia's transitional government in 2004. Gedi had been heading to Mogadishu International Airport, from where the bodies of the four Ugandan peacekeepers killed by a roadside bomb on Wednesday left for Kampala.

One child was killed and another injured in that blast. Five peacekeepers were also injured, three of whom were being treated in the Kenyan capital Nairobi yesterday.

"We condemn the barbaric act done by some troublesome people who want to discourage Amison forces," Gedi said earlier at the airport ceremony. Amison, the African Union force in Somalia, currently comprises some 1,500 Ugandan soldiers. The African body is struggling to gather a total of 8,000 troops. The force's spokesman, captain Paddy Ankunda, was undeterred yesterday.

"People die and it was their day," he said of Wednesday's deaths. "We are still strong and this is not something that could discourage us."

"We came here to help people and we are still ready to help."
