No Casualties As Car Bomb Goes Off In Mogadishu
2018-06-25
[RADIOSHABELLE] A car laden with explosives went off on Saturday night near the statue of Sayidka in Mogadishu, the Somali capital, but no casualties were reported.

Confirming the incident to Radio Shabelle, Mohammed Abdi, a witness said the bomb went kaboom! in the area shortly after the driver got off the car.

"A Somali security force officer has escaped unhurt from an IED fitted into his private car which went off at Sayidka vicinity. No casualties have been reported so far" said Abdi.

No group claimed the responsibility of the attack but al-Shabaab
... the Islamic version of the old Somali warlord...
had been carrying out attacks against Somali government and AU troops in Somalia.
