ADDIS ABABA - Ethiopia has arrested 29 people, including nine opposition party members, for plotting to carry out bomb attacks in the Horn of Africa nation, a senior security official said on Monday.

Demelash Woldemikael, deputy commissioner of federal police, said the individuals had been rounded up since Aug. 27 and all had links with the Oromo Liberation Front (OLF), a secessionist group Addis Ababa blacklisted as terrorists last year.

"They were all trained by the OLF and we've found plenty of evidence proving that they plotted to bomb targets," Demelash told Reuters.

Seven of the suspects are members of the opposition Oromo People's Congress party, while two are from the Oromo Federalist Democratic Movement, Demelash said.
