Car bomb wounds 1 person in Somali capital
2023-02-21
Just a little pffffftt, then. Like Faisal the Fizzle-Bomber, the Pakistani MBA who didn’t realize one needs to master basic chemistry before blowing up Times Square.
[ShabelleMedia] At least one person was slightly maimed in a boom-mobileing in Mogadishu, the Somali capital on Monday morning, during the rush hour.

Confirming the incident to Radio Shabelle,a witness said the blast has resulted from an bomb fitted to a luxury car that went off outside Aden Adden hospital.

The scene near Zoobe [K5] junction was sealed off by the police following the earth-shattering kaboom which caused the halt of the traffic and businesses along the street for about an hour.

The details about the prime target of the attack still remains murky with no immediate claim of responsibility. However,
some people cause happiness wherever they go; others whenever they go...
police said an investigation was underway at the time.

On Oct. 29 last year, the two boom-mobile blasts hit outside Somalia’s education ministry next to the K5 intersection, killing more that 100 people and maimed 300 others.

The attack which was claimed by al-Shabaab
...... the Islamic version of the old Somali warlord...
was the deadliest since a truck bomb went kaboom! at the same area in October 2017, leaving more than 587 people dead.

The K5 intersection normally teems with people buying and selling everything from food, clothing and water as well as foreign currency exchange and khat, a mild narcotic leaf.
