Somali Police Probes Into An Explosion In A House In Mogadishu
2019-03-10
[RADIOSHABELLE] Somali Police are interrogating three people tossed in the slammer
Drop the gat, Rocky, or you're a dead 'un!
after an IED went off in a house in northern Mogadishu.

According to sources, a homemade bomb went kaboom! while being assembled on Friday evening.

The kaboom which occurred in Deynile
... a new and interesting spelling of denial...
district has caused damage to the house but no one reportedly injured by the blast.

Police say owners of the house and a man who rented a room are being questioned.
"Have you seen my bomb?"
"I put it in the oven to dry"
"Wha...?"
*BOOM*

The move comes barely two days after Vehicle Borne Improvised bombs (VBIED) hit a checkpoint near the country’s national theatre.

The blast caused the death of five people and injured nine others.

Al-Shabaab
... the Islamic version of the old Somali warlord...
which once controlled the city has claimed the responsibility for the attack.

Oh dear. I certainly was not expecting that, Frank G.
