    NAIROBI (Reuters) - Suicide bombers attacked a restaurant in the town of Baidoa northwest of the Somali capital on Friday, killing at least five people and wounding at least 20, a police officer said.

    "First a suicide bomber blew himself up at the entrance of the restaurant and then a suicide car bomb followed when people converged to help," Captain Nur Osman, a police officer, told Reuters by telephone.
