A security guard was wounded in grenade attacks Sunday on the offices of two international agencies in a government-controlled part of Somalia's capital, officials said.

"One of our security guards was hurt," in a hand grenade attack targeting the Norwegian Refugee Council offices, said an official with the agency, speaking on condition of anonymity.

Nobody was hurt in the other attack in Mogadishu which targeted the United Nations Mine Action Service (UNMAS), closed on Sunday.

Somalia's transitional government controls only a few strategic neighbourhoods of the capital with backing from 8 000 African Union forces. Islamist Shebab rebels control the majority of southern and central Somalia
