Four Ethiopians were killed in a bomb blast on a bus near the Sudanese border, the information minister said Thursday, as security forces remain on high alert following attack warnings.
The blast occurred Tuesday in Ethiopia's remote Benishangul region, about 400 kilometers (248 miles) northwest of Addis Ababa, bordering Sudan.
The blast followed a government alert warning this week of an increased threat of attacks from Somalia's Al-Qaida linked Shebaab insurgents, who are battling Ethiopian troops based inside Somalia.
