MOGADISHU, Somalia (AP) - A land mine attack on a convoy of Somali government officials ended in the deaths of two civilians in the restive capital Thursday, an official and witnesses said. Elsewhere, two aid workers were reportedly kidnapped.
The car in the convoy carrying the commander of prisons, Abdullahi Ma'alim, ran over a land mine that was apparently set off by remote control, said Mohamed Osman Dagahtur, the capital's deputy mayor for security affairs.
"Abdullahi Ma'alim escaped the blast but his car was slightly damaged," said Dagahtur. "Two civilians lost their lives and another was injured."
