Mogadishu, Somalia – An Al-Shabaab suicide bomber and gunmen attacked a busy beach in the Somali capital Mogadishu killing 37 people and wounding scores more, officials said Saturday, one of the deadliest recent strikes in the East African country.
The assault, for which Al-Shabaab claimed responsibility in a post on a pro-Shabaab website, began late on Friday when a suicide bomber detonated a device and gunmen stormed the area. Police spokesman Abdifatah Adan Hassan said the attack demonstrated the group was not only targeting government officials and soldiers, but also ordinary civilians.Survivors said there were many people at the popular location when the attack happened.
Other witnesses had similar tales. Hawo Mohamed, who lives near the scene, said at least seven people he knew had been killed in the attack. UN chief Antonio Guterres condemned “heinous acts of terrorism” and said the organisation stood firmly with Somalia in its fight against “violent extremism”, said a statement from his spokesperson.
