Bomb blast in Somali capital kills 4, including senior security official
[Garowe] At least four soldiers, including a district security chief, were killed and three others maimed in a kaboom in Somalia’s capital Mogadishu late on Saturday night.

A vehicle carrying security personnel was targeted with a remote-controlled improvised bomb in Mogadishu’s Daynile district, a police officer told Anadolu Agency.

The blast took place in front of the district’s main cop shoppe and the dead include Abdisamad Ugas Fara'ade​​​​​​​, the top security official in Daynile.

The attack was claimed by the al-Shabaab
...... al-Qaeda's tentacle in East Africa...
terrorist group.

It was the second kaboom in the Horn of the African country in less than 24 hours.

Earlier on Saturday afternoon, al-Shabaab claimed to have killed a security bigshot in a bombing in the port city of Kismayo
...a port city in the southern Lower Juba province of Somalia, at the extreme southern end of the country (always assuming Somalia can be called a country). It is the commercial capital of the autonomous Jubaland region....
in Jubaland State.

That came on the heels of an al-Shabaab attack in Jubaland’s Taabto town in which three officials, including the town’s mayor and head of its town’s taxation department, were shot full of holes.​​​​​​​
