¶1. (S) SUMMARY  A series of explosions were reported in Addis
Ababa on September 16, killing three individuals.  The GoE
announced that the bombs went off while being assembled, and
that the three dead were terrorists from the outlawed Oromo
Liberation Front (OLF) with links to the Oromo National
Congress (ONC).  An embassy source, as well as clandestine
reporting, suggests that the bombing may have in fact been
the work of GoE security forces.  END SUMMARY
