Large explosion :(

[waryaa]

Minutes ago: driving on Maka Al Mukarama between Shaqalaha and 3 piano, I witnessed an extremely large/deafening explosion... close call. Follow somali news sites for details.

I could see a guy being taken away on a wheelbarrow

Made a u-turn and went back to where I came from...

Keep yourself safe man. Do you know who is responsible for
bombings in Xamar?

[waryaa]

abdi, tnx.

Suicide ones are from shababs - u must be indoctrinated to kill yourself like that.

thanks waryaa for the report. I just cancel my 2013 summer vacation to mogadishu.

Stay safe. Did You move there permantly bro?

[GIJaamac]

Why would anyone blow himself up in the middle of civilians ? Something is fishy here.

Illahay ha uu gargaaro daadka masakiinta ah. More tight meassures need to be taken against Al shabab.

At least it was a Friday, if it happened on a Saturday morning, the causalities would have been much higher. Xamar ain't as safe as it is being hyped to be. IF AS can strike so close in the Green Zone, security is far from being anything close to normal.

Waryaa, beware, the most dangerous moment is right after when these attacks happen. The FG and AMISOM start arresting people at random and fire at any moving targets.

like they say here in moga, life goes on....
