Two Killed In Mogadishu Car Bomb Blast
2020-05-29
[RADIOSHABELLE] A bigwig with Somali police force was among two killed in a car kaboom in Mogadishu, the Somali capital on Thursday morning, local authorities said.Abdishakur Hussein, the police officer, and another occupant bit the dust after an improvised bomb concealed in their car went off around Muna hotel.

Al-Shabaab
...... the personification of Somali state failure...
has immediately grabbed credit for the attack, which becomes the third of its kind in the capital within this month. Gen Ali Gaab escaped two similar attacks.

Mogadishu has been relatively calm in the past as the police stepped up measures to avert the frequent al-Shabaab boom-mobiles in the seaside capital that hosts the government.
