Car Bomb Explodes Outside Somalia Capital Mogadishu's Port - DW by Enapesunday(m): 10:43am On Dec 11, 2016 |
A car bomb has
exploded outside the
port of the Somali
capital Mogadishu,
killing several people
and injuring many
others. Officials say
the death toll is likely
to increase.
A bomb exploded at the
entrance of Mogadishu port
on Sunday, killing at least
12 civilians and injuring
dozens of others.
"The death toll may
rise. There were porters
and public vehicles queuing
outside the gate when the
blast occurred," police
officer Abdikadi Ahmed told
journalists. An ambulance
service official speaking to
the Agence France-Presse
news agency reported a
higher death toll and said
nearly 50 people had been
injured.
The blast took place when a
man drove a van packed
with explosives into a police
station and a security
checkpoint at the entrance.
The explosion severely
damaged the building and
thick plumes of black smoke
could be seen throughout
the city.
The Islamic extremist
group al-Shabab took
responsibility for the attack
through an official
statement on its radio
channel, Radio Andalus.
The al-Shabab insurgency
aims to drive out African
Union peacekeepers, topple
the Somalian government
and create a state based on
orthodox Islam. |
