Grenade blast wounds 33 at Ethiopian bus station

Posted on , Updated on by Elias Kifle

ADDIS ABABA, ETHIOPIA (Reuters) – An apparently accidental hand-grenade explosion wounded 33 people, nine seriously, on Thursday at the central bus station in the Ethiopian capital {www:Addis Ababa}, police said.

“This does not appear to be a terrorist attack. It seems a passenger was carrying the grenade in their luggage and it detonated accidentally,” federal police commander Demash Hailu told Reuters.

In the past, {www:Ethiopia} has accused arch-foe Eritrea of backing rebels who have bombed civilian targets in Addis Ababa.

Blasts at two petrol stations killed two people a day after local, regional and federal elections in April 2008, then a bomb tore through a minibus taxi a month later, killing six. (Reporting by Tsegaye Tadesse; Editing by Daniel Wallis and Michael Roddy)

  3. Why is Tsegaye Tadesse bringing in Eritrea whenever he unprofessionally regurgitates what his midget led gang spews out unashamedly? Why doesn’t he act like a reporter instead of a propagandist for the criminal Weyanes who are destroying Ethiopia? I hope someone is holding counts on the atrocities these people are committing throughout the Horn region.

  5. It is only Woyane, the Mafia, who doses this terrible things to its own people. Addis Ababans now very well know who is behind these types of dirty plots. The Woyanes can not cheat anyone. Ethiopia has never had such type of terrorist government that bombs its own people on taxis and bus stations.

    The solution is on our hand. Remove this terrorist government as quickly as possible through armed struggle and bring Meles and co to Ethiopian justice, or become endless victims of our own silence.

  6. BINGO!

    I TOLD YOU SO! DO YOU SEE? HOW WOYANES BOMBING INNOCENT PASSANGERS USING THEIR OWN GRANADE CARRYING KILLER AGAZZIS? THEN ARREST, THOSE THEY DON’T LIKE THE COLORS OF THEIR EYES!

    THIS IS ONE CLEAR EVIDENCE THAT INNOCENTS ARE BEING MURDERED ONE CIVILIAN PASSANGER BUSES, MINIBUSES, GAS DEPOS BY ONE SUCIDE BOMBERS KNOWN TO ALL ETHIOPIANS BY Tigrean liberation Front.

    Then, arrest innocents who were no clue of these genocidal crimes as accomplices, accusing them.

    THIS IS GOD PROVING WHILE WE WATCH WAYANES COMMIT GENOCIDE.

  7. AS USUAL…

    WOYANE IS THE REAL TERRORIST AND HAVE ALWAYS BEEN:

    -TERRORIZING RIGHTS ETHIOPIANS HAVE AS OCCUPIERS BUT AT THE SAME TIME PROTECT ERITREA AND TIGREANS! AS THEY ALL SUPPORT THEM IN PRIVATE! THIS IS FACT PEOPLE!

  8. The usual and routin Wayane arts and crafts of communicating with the world.

    ” Oh! The incoming admisnistration of president Barck Obama,we the traditional local despot dictator(shiish!) friends and allies of the US are still chasing the terrorists.

    We are still keeping your fundamental interests in this part of the region and as such need your endless material and immaterial assistance regardless of your being a democratic or authocratic government type up there.

    Let the US money flow towards us so and the bickering spirite flow towards our oponenets.

    That we may let corruption, underdevelopment and total dependency flourish here in Ethiopia.

    That is also why we are currently arranging very noisy and visible fun fare and countrywide celebration ritual for the president’s sooon coming power assumption.

    So let God help us this time although we have been staunchely opposing your election and funding your oponents.No harm meant!

    But we always stand by the winner with out any priclciple otherwise our lousy oponentes may strat flirting with you inorder to replace us and end the corruption, underdevelopment and dictatorship too.” Wayane the great dictator
