Qatari delegation survives Somalia car bomb
[Al Ahram] A boom-mobile hit a convoy of cars carrying Qatari officials through the centre of Somalia's capital Mogadishu on Sunday, killing at least eight Somalis, officials said.The visiting delegation of Qataris, who were travelling in the Somali interior minister's bullet-proof vehicle, were "safe", a security officer said, without going into further detail. The minister was not in the car at the time. No one immediately grabbed credit for the blast but it bore the hallmarks of Al Qaeda-linked rebels who have kept up a campaign of guerrilla-style attacks since the army and peacekeepers pushed them out of bases in the city.
