Mogadishu: 11 killed week after deadliest blast
[Al Jazeera] Little more than one week after a massacre in Somalia killed more than 350 people in the capital, an attack near Mogadishu on Sunday has claimed the lives of at least 11 people, witnesses told Al Jazeera.Several women were among those killed in Sunday's roadside kaboom that hit a minibus carrying passengers some 36km southeast of the coastal city. The victims are said to be farmers. Mohammed Hasan, who saw the blast, said he believed non-combatants were killed in error. He saw a Somali military vehicle pass the scene of the kaboom. "I saw charred bodies shortly after the blast. I think the target of the attack was the military soldiers," he told Al Jazeera. The bus that was blown up had been heading to Balad town in Middle Shabelle region, according to Harun Osman, a local resident. Posted by: Fred 2017-10-23 |
