2018-04-06
[RADIOSHABELLE] At least three people were confirmed dead and 9 others maimed in an kaboom in Somalia capital, Mogadishu on Wednesday night, a security official said.

Confirming the incident, Abdulaziz Ali Ibrahim, the front man of Somalia’s ministry of security said the blast has resulted from a remote-controlled landmine at San’a junction.

"The kaboom was caused by an bomb planted in a business area along the roadside which killed 3 civilians and injured 9 others," said Ibrahim.

He has accused Al-Shabaab
... Somalia's version of the Taliban, functioning as an arm of al-Qaeda...
of being behind the attack, adding that Somali security forces are investigating the incident, which was the latest in such bombings in the capital.

Al-Shabaab, a bully boy group allied with Al Qaeda has been pushed out of Mogadishu 2011, but, the snuffies are still capable of carrying out attacks and killings in the seaside city.
