good to know that people are now coming and keen to see Ogaden and my beloved City of harar, until that there are no bandits in around Harar or Ogaden as a whole, i think you are talking about The Oganen National liberation Front Or ONLF witch is fighting against the government of Males Zanawe in Ethiopia!if its so its better use "armed men or rebels" but never call them bandits am sure they are not but they are the Blood and the bones of the local population, please try to make more research before writing.
thank you

I've asked several people about this attack, and they all agreed the it wasn't political. It seems more like a bandit attack to me. What possible political use would it serve to attack a public minibus? I don't think you want to claim people who kill and rape civilians as the "blood and bones" of the population!
