2 top Somalia sports officials dead in bomb blast

The president of Somalia's Olympic committee and the head of the national football federation were killed in a suicide bomb blast Wednesday that the IOC called an "act of barbarism." FIFA President Sepp Blatter said he knew both men personally and they would be "sorely missed."
