\nThree people were wounded in a suspected bomb blast inside the main hospital in the war-torn Somali capital, officials and witnesses said Monday.<\/p>\n
The explosion occurred late Sunday inside a room near one of the main meeting halls of Banadir hospital.<\/p>\n
“We were informed about a bomb explosion that occurred inside Banadir,” said Dahir Adan, a government security official said.<\/p>\n
“We are still investigating the reason but the initial reports indicate that several people were injured in the explosion.”<\/p>\n
The hospital in central Mogadishu provides life-saving care for severely malnourished children struggling from ongoing famine in the city’s crowded camps for displaced people.<\/p>\n
“I heard a large explosion which shook the whole building, it occurred inside one of the hospital rooms in the hospital and three people were slightly injured,” said Sadiq Ali, a witness.<\/p>\n
“There was nobody inside the room where the explosion occurred, this explosion has really shocked patients,” said Shamso Mumin, another witness.<\/p>\n
Many high ranking international officials have visited the hospital in recent months to draw attention to what the United Nations says is the world’s worst humanitarian crisis.<\/p>\n
Several roadside bombs and grenade explosions have rocked Mogadishu since Al-Qaeda-linked Shebab rebels abandoned fixed positions there in August and switched to guerrilla attacks against the government. – ANP\/AFP<\/em><\/p>\nAllAfrica – All the Time<\/p>\n
