Toll rises to six in Ethiopian blastADDIS-ABABA (AFP) — Two people died on Thursday of their injuries following an explosion that rocked a bar in the Ethiopian capital, bringing the death toll to six, police said.
The explosion took place on Wednesday in Addis-Ababa. Four people were killed and dozens injured.
"No one has been captured and investigations are underway," police spokesman Demsach Hailu added.
Six people were killed in May when a bomb exploded on a minibus near the foreign ministry office in Addis Ababa, while three others were killed and 18 wounded the previous month in blasts that hit petrol stations in the capital.
Ethiopia has repeatedly accused its neighbour Eritrea of supporting those behind the bomb attacks, but Asmara has denied the charges.
Relations between Asmara and Addis Ababa have been frosty since they fought a devastating 1998-2000 border war that claimed tens of thousands of lives on both sides. The dispute is yet to be resolved.
