Somalia's president survived an alleged assassination attempt yesterday after two bombs were detonated outside a parliament building, killing at least five people.
A car thought to have been driven by a suicide bomber exploded as the president, Abdullahi Yusuf, was driving away from parliament, a converted grain warehouse in the temporary capital of the country, Baidoa.
He was not injured but his brother, Abdulsalam Yusuf Ahmed, was thought to be among those killed.
