Bomb blast kills 6 Soldiers

A bomb blast killed six people, mostly sol­diers, and wounded a dozen other peo­ple in the Somali capital, hours after a car bomb exploded at a checkpoint killing the at­tacker.

“Six people, most of them soldiers, were killed [by the bomb] which was planted under a tree close to a security checkpoint. Several others are also wounded,” said Mogadishu administration spokesman Abdifatah Omar Halane.
There was no immediate claim of responsi­bility for the attacks on Thursday but al-Shabab fighters have been trying to disrupt Somalia’s protracted parliamentary elections – part of ef­forts to rebuild the fractured nation after dec­ades of war. The three-month vote is due to end on December 29.
“We heard a huge blast and soon we saw peo­ple lying under the tree, some dead, others yell­ing for help,” shopkeeper Nur Abdullahi said. “Among the injured ones were two young chil­dren.”
