Ahmed Mohamed tells The Associated Press that Sunday's blast targeted a military convoy in Galgala. Security forces have been battling Islamic State-linked fighters in the region. The al-Qaeda-linked al-Shabaab extremist group claimed responsibility for the blast. ISIS-linked extremists also have carried out such attacks in the past. |
