From Times Wire Reports
Officials raised the death toll from a grenade attack in northeastern Somalia to 21 and said 100 were wounded.
The grenade blew up Tuesday in a crowded neighborhood in Bossaso, a port town in the semiautonomous region of Puntland, officials said.
Most of the victims were believed to be Ethiopians on their way to find work in the Arabian Peninsula, which lies across the Gulf of Aden, officials said.
No one has claimed responsibility, but the attack was believed to have been related to animosity between citizens of Ethiopia and Somalia.
