Officials say a weekend explosion in Ethiopia's capital that killed two people impacted a home used by U.S. Embassy personnel.Ethiopia's
state TV says the identities of those killed in the Sunday blast are
not known. The government also has not said what caused the blast. The
area hosts a large Somali population.
An FBI document obtained by The Associated Press says the blast "impacted the wall of a U.S. employee residence."
Kenya
last month saw the Somali militant group al-Shabab kill 67 people
during a siege on a Nairobi shopping mall. Al-Shabab in 2010 detonated
bombs in Uganda's capital during the World Cup final, killing more than
70 people.
Al-Shabab said those attacks were retaliation because
Kenya and Uganda have troops in Somalia. Ethiopia also has troops in
Somalia.
