Al-Qaeda accused in bid to kill Somali politician
Baidoa, Somalia -- An unsuccessful bid to assassinate Somalia's interim president was an al-Qaeda-hatched plot involving the country's first-ever suicide car-bombing, a senior Somali official said yesterday.
The official, a senior security officer in Abdullahi Yusuf Ahmed's office, said two blasts, including one from a vehicle driven by a suicide attacker, had been detonated as the interim leader left the parliament building in Baidoa. At least eight people were killed and 50 injured. AFP
