Addis Ababa – At least two people were killed late on Saturday in a bomb attack on a restaurant popular with Westerners in central Djibouti, official sources said.
Diplomats said there were reports of two explosions outside La Chaumiere cafe, and that two employees had been killed and around 10 others wounded, many of them foreigners.
The sources said police were investigating reports that a grenade blast was followed by an attack by a suicide bomber.
The French foreign ministry confirmed that several of its nationals were slightly wounded in the attack, and the Netherlands’ De Telegraaf reported that six Dutch soldiers who had been taking part in an anti-piracy mission were also lightly wounded.
Djibouti’s main ADI news agency said there were several explosions around 20:00 local time and that the area was quickly sealed off by police.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the attack.
Djibouti is also a key contributor of troops to the African Union force fighting al-Qaeda-linked al-Shabaab militants in Somalia…
al-Shabaab have already carried out attacks against Kenya and Uganda, who also have forces in Somalia.
