Bomb targets former UN officer in Galkayo
2015-04-29
GALKAYO, Somalia -- A former UNOCHA officer has survived an explosion after a bomb placed under his car seat was detonated by remote control in Galkayo town, police said Tuesday.
Couldn't have been two important: per the pic at the link it looks like he was driving a green Hyundai...
There as no immediate claim of responsibility for the blast which targeted the car of Mohamed Abdirahman " Dhabancad", who currently heads an electricity company in Galkayo town which has seen series of attacks by the Al-Qaeda linked Al-Shabab group in Somalia.

Al-Shabab often targets electricity workers in the town as bulbs installed across the city may hinder their overnight attacks in the town.

The bomb was detonated as Mr. Abdirahman got out of the car. Two others persons were injured, according to police.
