Hargeysa, Somaliland, September 18, 2010 (SL Times) – A default in an electric appliance which heats water has caused a minor explosion at the home of Somaliland’s minister for Livestock, Ahmed Hashi Oday, in Hargeysa.

The explosion took place around 7 o’clock pm local time. However the incident triggered an anxiety and fear amongst the nearby community, following last week’s security debacle at Somaliland’s western coast.

At a hastily organized press conference lately evening on Saturday, Somaliland police commander Elmi Roble Furre, denied that the incident was a targeted attack against minister Ahmed Hashi.

“It was cost by an electric short in a bathroom heater at the minister’s home,” Mr. Roble added.
