Ethiopia: Hotel bombing kills 3; Somali jihadist group claims responsibility

Somalia Jihad Update. "Somali Islamist group claims responsibility for deadly bomb attack in Ethiopia," from the Associated Press, May 29:

said Haji Abukar, a spokesman for the Islamic Guerrillas, after claiming responsibility for Tuesday's bombing in Nagele, 560 kilometers (347 miles) south of the capital, Addis Ababa. "Our fighters will continue their holy war against the enemy of Somalia and we will target them everywhere."

The Guerillas are a relatively little known group in Somalia and Ethiopia, and only began making public statements three months ago.
