Somali official survives assassination attempt
2014-02-18
The spokesperson of Benadir Regional Administration says that a vehicle owned by a official from the administration was attached with a bomb.

Mohamed Yusuf, Spokesperson of the Benadir Regional Administration, explained that Ismaail, from the Finance Department of the Administration, was targeted after his car was tied with an explosive and it was intended to detonate in Regional Administrations headquarters, but not before Ismaail caught sight of the bomb, with the spokesperson describing him as "aware".

Subsequent to that, the spokesperson alleged they informed the mine detectors, Main Action and Somali Police Officials, who were triumphant in their endeavour to posses the bomb from the vehicle and set it off safely elsewhere.

On the other hand, according to eye-witnesses, a car driven by a man believed to be from the "diaspora" exploded in Benadir's region Abdi Aziz district; but no casualties were reported.
