In Baidoa, outside Somalia town over the weekend during the Eid-el-Fitr celebration, four people including two children were killed by a bomb blast with 15 others severely injured.
The unfortunate incident occurred yesterday afternoon, 24 May as people in the spirit of the festival displayed traditional dances in a field near an internally displaced person camp north of the town.
As gathered from an unnamed security official, the bomb had been planted in the field before the second day Sallah celebration on Sunday.
Yesterday also in Mogadishu, a police general, General Ali Hersi Barre escaped a roadside bomb aimed at his vehicle.
One of his bodyguards had lost his life to the unfortunate incident with three others injured.
The General was unhurt as he was not in the car at the time of the explosion.
Those behind the two bomb blast incidents in Somalia on Sunday are still unidentified. However, security officials suspect al-Shabab to be behind it.
