3 dead, 10 injured in Grenade blasts in Marka | |
2016-07-09 | |
At least 3 people were killed, and 10 others wounded in twin grenade blasts in Somalia’s southern port city of Marka, some 100Km south of Mogadishu on Thursday.
Somali security officials in the seaside town have immediately blamed the simultaneous deadly bomb attacks on the Al Qaeda-affiliated Al Shabaab militants. Al Shabaab lost the city’s control to SNA and AU troops in 2012, barely a year after the militants were driven out of Mogadishu, the conflict-riddled Somali capital. Meanwhile, the Somali military officers have imposed a curfew on Marka following the explosions, in an attempt to beef up the security and prevent impending attacks, reports said. | |
