Police: 6 dead in UN bus bombing in Somalia
A police official says a bomb explosion on a bus carrying U.N. employees in northern Somalia has killed at least six people.
Col. Ali Salad, a senior police officer in the semiautonomous Puntland region, said by phone that dead in the town of Garowe comprised both foreigners and Somalis.

"Its a dark day - but terrorists must know that the blood they shed will not go in vain. We shall deal with them with an iron hand." He said.

The Al-Qaeda-linked Al-Shabab group has claimed responsibility for the attack, according to the group`s Andalus radio.
