New Somali President Safe After Explosion

VOA correspondent Gabe Joselow, who was at the hotel, says two bombs detonated outside the building Wednesday as President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud and Kenyan Foreign Minister Samson Ongeri were holding a news conference inside.

He says both men were unharmed but that a number of African Union soldiers were killed or wounded in the attack.

Mr. Mohamud was elected president by Somalia
