Ethiopian Security Forces Say They Have Botched Terrorist Attacks Targeting the Capital City of Addis Ababa

The media in Ethiopia reported that Alshabaab plans to bomb some targets in Addis were foiled after the security forces captured a bomber who is suspected to be a member of Alshabaab.

They incident happened at Bole Mekaa'iil in Addis Ababa. Police believe that they were intending to explode that bomb at Addis Ababa Football Stadium where a match would take place.
