Somali leader survives bomb blast
An apparent bid to assassinate Somalia's interim president has killed at least five people outside parliament in the town of Baidoa.

A suspected car bomb went off soon after a convoy left carrying President Abdullahi Yusuf, but the leader is said to have escaped unharmed.

A second bomb exploded near the first, setting at least five cars ablaze.

Mr Yusuf has strained relations with an Islamist group which controls much of southern Somalia.
