Mogadishu, May 13 (AFP) African Union forces in Somalia today said a “cowardly” bomb attack the previous day had killed 19 people, nearly double the number initially reported.
The car bomb exploded yesterday outside a bank on a busy street in the southern Somali town of Baidoa.
“The blast killed 19 innocent victims and destroyed valuable property,” the AU force said in a statement, updating an earlier toll from the police of 10.
