Somalia: Bomb blast in capital kills 20, half of them women
Mon. August 04, 2008 07:51 am.- By Bonny Apunyu. -

(SomaliNet)
At least 20 people were killed half of them women who were sweeping the street in Somalia's capital by a bomb hidden under a pile of garbage, witnesses and doctors said Sunday.

Halima Abdow, whose elder sister, Fatima, was killed, described dozens of people lying in pools of blood, passers-by shrieking for help and children screaming for their mothers after a street sweeper accidentally tripped a large roadside bomb.

A source said the Somali women were part of a U.N.-sponsored food-for-work program. The road on which they were sweeping is a main route for Somali and Ethiopian troops, who are backing Somalia's weak transitional government.-The Seattle Times
