 MOGADISHU, Somalia (AP) - Ethiopian troops fired Monday at a would-be suicide bomber speeding toward their base, blowing up the car and killing the bomber and a civilian standing nearby, officials said.
"This was a terrorist act," Deputy Defense Minister Salad Ali Jelle said.
The attack came one day after a suicide car bomber drove through a roadblock guarding the prime minister's home and rammed the vehicle into a wall, killing seven people. The prime minister was unharmed.
