MOGADISHU, June 28 (Reuters) - A roadside bomb killed two
soldiers in Somalia's chaotic capital Mogadishu on Thursday,
witnesses said, just hours after two aid workers were shot
dead in an overnight attack in the north of the country.

One woman at the scene of the blast said a vehicle carrying
troops through a northern district of the city was lifted into
the air by the powerful explosion. The troops on another
truck in the convoy opened fire, she said.

In separate violence, two Somalis working for the International
Medical Corps relief agency were killed late on Wednesday in
El-Berde, 480km (300 miles) northwest of Mogadishu.

In Ethiopia, Prime Minister Meles Zenawi said the activity of
"terrorists" in Somalia -- whom he accused rival Eritrea of
backing -- had forced him to revise his military exit strategy.
