MOGADISHU, Somalia (AP) - A roadside bomb hidden in a pile of garbage exploded Monday, killing two children and wounding three other people just minutes after security officials drove by, police said. Five people were arrested.
The bomb went off in northern Mogadishu, where Somali troops and their Ethiopian allies were conducting a search for hidden weapons. The target was the security convoy, police said.
"Two children were killed when a roadside bomb exploded," Mohamed Muhyadin, a spokesman for Mogadishu's mayor, told The Associated Press. "It was a cowardly attack, a terrorist act."
