Deadly blast kills top officials in Mogadishu

[nomadicwarlord]

The presidents of Somalia's Olympic committee and football federation are among at least six people killed in a suicide attack on the country's newly reopened national theatre.
Al-Shabaab rebels said they had carried out the bombing. "We were behind the theatre blast," Sheikh Abdiasis Abu Musab, the spokesman for al-Shabaab's military operations, told Reuters. "We targeted the infidel ministers and legislators, and they were the casualties of today."

The bomber detonated her explosives as the Somali prime minister, Abdiweli Mohamed Ali, was about to deliver a speech at a ceremony to mark the first anniversary of the start of a national TV station.
Ali Muse, the head of the Mogadishu ambulance service said dozens of people, including Somalia's national planning minister, had been wounded. The blast cut chairs in half, filled the room with smoke and splattered blood across the walls.
A survivor said he feared few people inside the theatre had escaped death or injury. The witness, Zakariye Osman, said he had counted at least eight dead bodies. His clothes were covered in blood as he spoke outside the theatre. Al-Shabaab militants were largely pushed out of Mogadishu last year by African Union troops, and a period of relative peace descended on the city, allowing sports leagues, restaurants and even a little nightlife to flourish.

Despite those advances, al-Shabab has continued to carry out suicide and roadside bomb attacks, sometimes with devastating effect. Last October, militants detonated a lorry loaded with fuel drums at a government ministry gate, killing more than 100 people. Somalia's national theatre reopened in March for the first time in 20 years with a concert.

The International Olympic Committee said it was "shocked" by the deaths of the two officials.

You can't eradicate terrorism, you can only contain it and make sure it does not influence the masses which are vulnerable because they have a shitty government.

Sad indeed, I hope the TFG and AMISOM troops piss on the bodies of dead Al-Shabaab cowards and wrap them with pig intestines and bury them..that's the respect they deserve.

hate only breeds more hate, the cycle of violence will continue
if it isn't evident now that a new approach is needed then Somalia is hopeless, niggas can't even open a theatre without getting cockblocked.

You can't reason with those folks, they are being flushed out...Mother Theresa and Gandhi would be frustrated if they had to deal with these lunatics.

They have a different definition of what an "Infidel" is, I don't think they use the official definition sanctioned by Al-Qaeda Dictionary. TFG officials say a woman blew herself up, but Al-Shabaab say it was a device...they don't want to give credit to a woman martyr. Sexist bunch

SHABAB ARE THE REAL KAFFIRS. ALQAEDA WAS CREATED BY THE CIA. THEY ULTIMATELY ARE FIGHTING FOR THE AMERICAN INFIDELS. SINCE WHEN IS SUICIDE ATTACKS PERMIT IN ISLAM? SUICIDE IN ANY FORM IS A MAJOR SIN.

Let me guess the story, the CIA created Al Qadea which then blew up the world trade centers with the help of MOSSAD to incite the U.S to attack innocent Muslim people?
Is that right?
