Deadly Day In Mogadishu Shows Weakened Somali Militants Not Yet Defeated (+video) -- Christian Science Monitor
Al Shabab Militants In Somalia Killed 19 People Sunday In Three Bomb Attacks That Targeted Mogadishu's Main Court Complex And An Aid Convoy.
Al Shabab militants killed 19 people Sunday in bomb attacks that targeted Mogadishu's main court complex and an aid convoy, underscoring the fact that Somalia’s weakened Al Qaeda-allied militia has not yet been beaten.
The first of three bomb attacks exploded just before noon local time Sunday outside the Mogadishu courthouse. Gunmen camouflaged in Somali Army uniforms then stormed the buildings and opened fire. It was the worst day of killings in the capital since late last year, and spoke to the militants' ongoing capabilities despite a series of recent setbacks.
“These attacks appear to have been coordinated and well-planned,” says a political source close to the Somali government.
