MOGADISHU, Somalia (AP) — A Somali police officer says a suicide car
bomber accidentally detonated his explosives near a popular hotel in
the Somali capital.
Capt. Mohamed Hussein said the bomber appeared to have prematurely
detonated his explosives-laden car Saturday as he tried to park near a
hotel. No others were hurt or killed in the blast.
The al-Qaida linked group al-Shabab frequently carries out attacks
against the Somali government, the U.N. and African Union peacekeepers.
Late last month, a suicide car bomber detonated his explosives-laden
car at a teashop near Somalia’s intelligence agency headquarters,
killing at least 12 people.
My Wife was in the OPM /SANG Building in Riyadh in '95 when it got car bombed, so stories like this give me a warm feeling all over...
