The Somali government on Tuesday appealed for international help to investigate a failed bid to assassinate President Abdullahi Yusuf Ahmed, blamed on the al-Qaeda network, which killed 11 people. | “Authorities interrogated two suspects arrested after the country's first-ever suicide bombing...” |
As authorities interrogated two suspects arrested after the country's first-ever suicide bombing, government spokesperson Abdirahman Mohamed Nur Dinari said they needed foreign expertise to investigate the attack outside the Parliament building in Baidoa.| I could lend them a mirror, no need for all those foreign experts. |
"Our local investigators are already probing the attack, but we really need international help and expertise on the whole exercise," Dinari said. "Since al-Qaeda was involved in the attack, we really do not have the expertise to uncover the whole attack that was well organised by the same groups that are carrying out attacks in Iraq and Afghanistan," the spokesperson for the country's interim government added. Suicide bombers blew up two cars on Monday as Yusuf's convoy was leaving Parliament, killing five members of his entourage, including his younger brother Abdulsalam, and six presumed attackers. |
