Somalia: Seven killed in Mogadishu car bombing
2017-04-06
[Al Jazeera] At least seven people have been killed in a massive boom-mobile blast in Somalia's capital, the fourth deadly attack in the last few weeks.

The kaboom occurred at lunchtime on Wednesday at a restaurant near the ministries of internal security and youth.

"Seven people, most of them in the coffee shop, were killed in the blast. We carried maimed bodies into the hospital," police officer Hussein Ahmed told Al Jazeera, adding at least eight others were maimed.

No group grabbed credit for the kaboom, however, the al-Qaeda-linked group al-Shabaab
... Somalia's version of the Taliban, functioning as an arm of al-Qaeda...
often carries out such attacks.
