| [The Hill] At least 20 people are dead and 30 others wounded after a car bomb ripped through a popular restaurant in Somalia’s capital of Mogadishu late Friday night. A rickshaw carrying the explosives was detonated outside the popular Luul Yemeni restaurant near the city’s port, according to Reuters, which cited an emergency services official in reporting the number of casualties. "So far we have carried 20 dead people and 30 injured from the blast scene," Abdulkadir Aden, founder of AAMIN Ambulance services, told the outlet. Gunfire was heard following the explosion. The al-Shabaab terrorist group, which controls rural areas of southern Somalia and has been known to strike the city, took responsibility for the attack, according to CNN. |
