At least 17 people were wounded as bombs exploded in early April in downtown Addis Abeba. The blast, which took place at the National and Adam Hotels also caused other property damages.

Mulugeta Seyoum, commander of the Second Police Station, suspects that the bombings might have been committed by agents of some political organizations which are active in the transitional government.

The wounded persons are now receiving medical treatment and the causes of the explosions are under investigation.
