MOGADISHU, Somalia (AP) - Bombings and grenade attacks killed two schoolboys and three other people in Somalia's capital on Sunday, officials said. Nine people were wounded.
Police blamed Islamist insurgents for the attacks.
The two teenagers died in a blast in south Mogadishu near a school attended by hundreds of children, the school's director Mohamed Ahmed Farah said. Sunday is a school day in the majority Muslim Horn of Africa nation, where government troops and their Ethiopian allies are fighting Islamic insurgents who vowed to conduct an Iraq-style insurgency after they were ousted by an Ethiopian-led invasion in December.
