Somali

president describes attack

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The president's convoy had just left when the

explosions went off

 

 

 

The

interim President of Somalia, Abdullahi Yusuf, has described how he narrowly

escaped an assassination attempt by a suicide bomber.

President Yusuf told the BBC the bomber rammed a car packed with

explosives into a presidential convoy in the central town of Baidoa.

Mr Yusuf said he escaped his burning car, but added that his

brother and three bodyguards were killed.

Somalia's foreign minister

said six attackers died in an ensuing gunbattle.

The president had addressed a meeting of the country's transitional

parliament only minutes before the attack, which left 18 people wounded.
