Terrorist Attack in Somalia (Baidoa) February 2nd 1994
______________________________________...
DESCRIPTION OF THE BOMBING

The explosion occurred February 2nd, 1994, 5:45 am. I got up as usual and I went to take my shower, and then returned to my room that was the last thing that I remember.
Later, (I don鈥檛 know at what time) I regained consciousness on the patio of the compound where Nancy Jed (the nurse, my c-worker) was administering life saving first aid. She told me that a bomb had injured me and that I was going to the UNISOM hospital. I was transported by truck to the United Nations hospital in Baidoa (a tent hospital) where military Indian doctors, treated my shock, they gave blood transfusions, administered pain killers, cleaned the wounds and did X- rays (all the X- rays were not usable because the machine was very old and in poor repair). The next day, I was airlifted to Nairobi (Kenya) and was treated at Nairobi鈥檚 Hospital.

That place has been rife with struggle and violence for a long time. IIRC, 94 was a good year for conflict-diamonds in that part of the world.
