Botched blast targets hospital in Mogadishu
MOGADISHU -- A bomb blast in a car ended up missing the target in volatile Mogadishu on Wednesday, Garowe Online reports. Unknown assailants attached a bomb beneath the seat of well know medical doctor at Mogadishu's Keyseney hospital Dr. Abdulkadir Hussein Jim'alle (Hoga).According to witnesses, a nurse identified as Mahad Abdihafid died while Dr. Hoga sustained minor injuries. Shortly after the attempt on his life, Hoga said he had no falling out with any group noting that he has been working at Keyseney hospital for many years. No group claimed responsibility for the botched attack but as has been the case Al Qaeda linked Al Shabaab group remains persistent threat to civilians and government officials. Located in northern edge of Mogadishu, Kenseney hospital has since been one of few hospitals that served for hundreds suffering from recurrent insecurity and famine.
