MP behind suicide car bombing at airport killing 13
Thirteen people were killed in yesterday's attack when two fanatics detonated boom-mobiles close to Mogadishu airport and the main base for UN and African Union ...a union consisting of 53 African states, most run by dictators of one flavor or another. The only all-African state not in the AU is Morocco. Established in 2002, the AU is the successor to the Organisation of African Unity (OAU), which was even less successful... (AU) peacekeepers. Islamist snuffies Al-Shabaab  ... the Islamic version of the old Somali warlord... , who grabbed credit for the bombing, said former MP Salah Nur Ismail was one of those to blow himself up. Ismail joined the Somali parliament in 2009 but defected a year later in anger at the government, accusing them of abandoning religious principles. Posted by: Fred 2016-07-28 |
