Serangan itu terjadi sepekan setelah pasukan Ethiopia dan Somalia dapat mengusir gerilyawan Islam, yang dituduh punya hubungan dengan Al-Qaeda, dari ibukota Mogadishu ke kawasan perbatasan dengan Kenya.
The attacks come more than a week after joint Ethiopian and Somali troops routed the Islamists, accused of ties to Al-Qaeda, from their final stronghold in the southern port town of Kismayo, forcing them to flee into scrublands along the border with Kenya.
