Unknown gunmen have attacked hand grenades to the house of an official working for Save The Children in Beledweyn town in central Somalia, witnesses said on Wednesday.
Ali Bile, the attacked official was at his house at the time of the bomb attack. Three people including his wife and his daughter were injured in the bomb attack.
It is not known why the official targeted, but there have been attacks and abductions against local and foreign aid workers in Somalia for years.
The administration of Beledweyn town said they would investigate the incident.
Two foreign aid workers kidnapped by Somali gunmen two weeks ago were released on Tuesday without ransom payment after local elders held negotiations with captors.
