At least 10 people were killed on Tuesday when militants from the al-Qaida-linked al-Shabaab detonated two bombs outside the education ministry in Somalia’s capital, Mogadishu, and gunmen fought their way into the building. Seven attackers were also killed, the Somali government said.
Security forces rushed to the scene and ambulances ferried wounded victims to hospitals. Somalia’s minister for internal security, Abdirizak Omar, said special forces had secured the building and casualties were “minimal”, though witnesses reported seeing dead bodies.
A government spokesman said eight civilians and two soldiers had died, as well as seven militants.
MoE too? At least they were killed. With these AMISOM troops getting fat, why aren't they going on the offensive?
AUN to the innocents killed.
