                      Bombing Kills 2 in Ethiopian Capital

   Ethiopian state media reports a bomb blast in the capital Addis Ababa
   has killed at least 2 people.
   The attack Sunday took place in Bole district that has a large Somali
   population. There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the
   bombing, but Ethiopia says it has thwarted plots of attacks in the past
   two years and blames rebel groups based in the south and southeast, as
   well as Somalia`s al-Shabab insurgents.
   Ethiopian troops have been fighting al-Qaida-linked al-Shabab militants
   in Somalia since 2011, alongside African Union forces from Uganda,
   Burundi and Kenya.
   Last month, al-Shabab led an attack on a shopping mall in Kenya in
   which at least 67 people died. The al-Qaida-linked group said the
   attack was retaliation for Kenya`s military intervention in Somalia.
