At least three people have been killed and 15 injured in an explosion in eastern Ethiopia, as investigators scrambled to determine if it was an act of terrorism or an accident, police have said.
The blast occurred near a hotel in Jijiga, the capital of Ethiopia's eastern Somali region, federal police spokesman Demsash Hailu said.
"I suspect it is a terrorist action because we have some problems in this area," the spokesman said."But there is an investigation opened. We'll look into the matter to confirm if it is a terrorist action or an accidental explosion."
