Suicide Bombing in Somalia Kills 4 People, Days After Another Blast Targets Gov’t Spokesperson

HeadlineJan 19, 2022

In Somalia, at least four people have been killed and 10 others injured in a suicide bombing in the capital Mogadishu. The armed group al-Shabab claimed responsibility for the attack Tuesday. The assailant walked into a tea shop — located near a Turkish military installation where Somali soldiers are trained — and detonated an explosive vest. This comes just two days after a Somali government spokesperson was injured in another suspected suicide bombing.
