Explosion Kills Two In Somalia
Police in Somalia says at least two people have been killed and five others wounded by a roadside explosion that hit a vehicle carrying students in the Dayniile district of Mogadishu.
The police spokesman, Sadiq Doodishe said that “Those wounded include people traveling with the students, and others were passersby.”
He said that the students killed were returning home from school.
“This incident and several others show that al-Shabab targets people indiscriminately,” he said.
No group has claimed responsibility for the blast yet.
However, the al-Qaida-linked al-Shabab often carries out attacks in Somalia’s capital.
The extremist group claimed responsibility for two vehicle bombs that exploded on Saturday and killed more than 100 people at a busy junction in the capital. Al-Shabab said it targeted the education ministry.
