Ethiopia police service is under high alert after discovering evidence that Somilia Islamist al Shabaab group is planning attacks in the country.

The police service in Somalia became aware of this  after officials said two Somali suicide bombers accidently blew themselves up.

This occurred while the suicide bombers were preparing to kill soccer fans during the Ethiopia’s World Cup qualifying match against Nigeria.

Al Shabaab has vowed to exact revenge on Ethiopia for sending troops to Somalia to fight the al Qaeda-linked militants, alongside African Union forces from Uganda, Burundi and Kenya.
