(23 Jun 2018) A deadly explosion struck a huge rally for Ethiopia's reformist new prime minister on Saturday shortly after he spoke and was waving to the crowd that had turned out in numbers unseen in recent years in the East African nation.
Addressing the country minutes after he was hurried to safety, Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed said "a few people" had been killed and others injured.
He called the blast a "well-orchestrated attack" but one that failed.
He did not lay blame but said police were investigating.
An Associated Press reporter saw more than a dozen injured people.
