Terror alert: Two car bombings kill 100 persons
While the Nigerian government is still pondering over the terrorists’ attack alert raised by the United States (U.S.) and the United Kingdom (U.K.), two car bombings have killed over 100 people in Mogadishu, Somali. Al-Shabaab Islamists had claimed responsibility for the terror attack.
President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud of Somalia after visiting the scene of the bombing on Sunday, declared: “So far, the number of people who died has reached 100 and 300 are wounded, and the number for both the death and wounded continues to increase.”
It was narrated that two cars packed with explosives blew up minutes apart near the Zobe intersection, and thereafter, there was gunfire targeting Somalia’s education ministry.
The police spokesman Sadik Dudishe disclosed that the victims include women, children and the elderly.
Police officer Adan Mohamed was cited to have said: “The ruthless terrorists killed mothers. Some of them died with their children trapped on their backs.
“The attackers had been stopped from killing more “innocent civilians and students.”
“I could not sleep last night because of the horrible scene.”
Buildings in the vicinity of the explosions were said to be damaged.
