Explosion at a bar kills three in Addis Ababa

ADDIS ABABA (Reuters) – A blast at a bar in the Ethiopian capital has killed three and wounded 12 others on Wednesday, an eye witness told Reuters.

“The explosion occurred in a bar where about 20 people were watching satellite television,” said the eye witness, who wanted to remain anonymous. He had counted three bodies, he added.

The police declined to comment but said they were investigating the blast.

Ethiopia experiences sporadic attacks caused by explosive devices in hotels or buses which it usually blames on neighbouring Eritrea.
