Explosion on bus in Addis kills one-bus owner

ADDIS ABABA, Mar 27 (Reuters) An explosion on a minibus killed one person and injured three others in the Ethiopian capital Addis Ababa today, the owner of the bus said.

''One person was killed in the explosion. Three others were injured slightly and they are in hospital for treatment,'' Berhanu Gebremichael told Reuters at the scene of the explosion in the southern part of the city.

Several small explosions have struck the capital in recent months. The government has blamed them on dissidents angry at the ruling party's victory in last May's parliamentary elections.
