Delegates agreed Wednesday to a new draft constitution for Somalia that is meant to help the violence-torn East African country return to stability. The delegates, above, finished their deliberations despite a suicide bombing outside the conference. Two bombers were involved in the attack, with one of them killing six security officers, the police said. The other attacker was shot and killed before he could detonate his bomb, they said. The Shabaab, a group linked to Al Qaeda, said they were behind the attack.
