2 bombers killed at Somalia constitution meeting

None

A police officer in Somalia's capital says security forces shot two suicide bombers right outside a building where 825 Somali elders are meeting to debate the country's new constitution, setting off their explosives.

 

Abdi Yassin said that security forces stopped the two bombers at the gates of the constitutional assembly and opened fire on them. The incoming gunfire detonated the suicide bombers' vests. (AP)
