Somali troops foil seaport suicide attack
[Arab News] Somali police said they had foiled a suicide kaboom by beturbanned fascisti on the seaport in the capital Mogadishu on Saturday, two days after a bomb attack on the city's airport.
Somebody is getting busy. Ineffectively busy, at that. I wonder if it's a newly minted Number Three that's doing their planning...
Abdullahi Abdi, a police officer based at the port, said the driver of a petrol tanker was forced by a gunman to speed through a checkpoint at the port's entrance and government troops opened fire.

He said the security forces blew out the tanker's tyres before arresting the maimed driver and the gunman who was found with explosives in a black bag.
Well done, O Security Forces!
"This was a clear potential suicide kaboom. He wanted to ram the tanker into the seaport and blow his explosives, Abdi told Rooters. A porter at the port confirmed the incident.

The petrol truck was reported to be empty at the time of the attack.

Police said the driver told them his truck was hijacked as he drove towards the port, a crucial entry point for food and fuel into Somalia.
Because blowing up food pleases Allan as he cares for the widow and orphan.
