Female suicide bomber kills Somali sports chiefs

address by Somalia's prime minister in Mogadishu, killing four people
including the country's Olympic and football bosses.

Mohamed Ali was addressing 200 people at the newly reopened national
theatre on the first anniversary of the launch of Somalia's satellite TV
network.
