Mogadishu, (insidesomalia.org) - One of the blasts was under attack on Ethiopian soldiers were marching at ex-charcoal scale center in Mogadishu on Monday morning according to eyewitnesses.

The soldiers were reported to have been escorting logistic carriers from Mogadishu pitch that now serves as Ethiopian troop’s base to their army base of the former spaghetti plant in Yaqshid neighborhood north of Mogadishu.

After the blast the business and vehicles activities have brought to a standstill in some further minutes.

Some where else another roadside bomb explosion was targeted at Ethiopian and Somali soldiers were touring patrol in the vicinity of ex-Jalle Siad seminary in Mogadishu.

The joint soldiers have opened more fire to the direction of the site the explosion has happened after the explosion took place.

It’s yet unknown the casualties from the bullets the soldiers have opened.

The al Shabaab is the millitary wing of a sharia courts group that ruled much of southern Somalia for six months in 2006 before being ousted by allied Somali-Ethiopian troops and they are now spearheading deadly battles against Somali-Ethiopian soldiers in somalia.

Since then they have been at the forefront of an Iraq-style insurgency targeting the government with assassinations, mortar strikes and roadside bombs.

The group vowed to retaliate after their leader, Aden Hashi Ayro, thought to be al Qaeda's leader in Somalia, was killed in a U.S. air strike a week ago.
