Al-Shabaab Claims Attack On Government Building In Mogadishu
[RADIOSHABELLE] Somali bully boy group al-Shabaab...  the Islamic version of the old Somali warlord...has launched yet another complex attack in the capital, Mogadishu, witnesses, and officials say. A boom-mobile blast rocked the Shangani district of Mogadishu early Saturday. Witnesses said the kaboom targeted a building housing the ministries of Labor and of General Works, Reconstruction, and Housing. The Headquarters of Mogadishu regional police are also located in the area. A second kaboom was reported minutes later in the same area. Witnesses said the kaboom came from another car believed to have been used by armed button men. The button men stormed the building according to witnesses. Gunfire has been heard at the building housing the two ministries. Pictures taken by local media show some of the workers escaping through the back windows. The al-Shabaab bully boy group grabbed credit for the attack. Through its affiliate media, al-Shabaab also claimed its fighters entered the buildings of Labor, and General Works, Reconstruction & Housing. Posted by: Fred 2019-03-24 |
