Loud blasts heard near Somali rebel bases-residents

Two loud explosions rocked a rebel stronghold about 13 km from the Somali capital on Saturday and a third blast was heard close by, residents said.

"We heard two big explosions and then we saw clouds of smoke rising from near the bases of al Shabaab near the Al Hayaat hospital," Keise Osman, a resident of Elasha, told Reuters.

Another resident from Lafole, close to Elasha, said she heard the first two blasts and then a third explosion nearby.
