Suicide attack kills 4 teens, 1 baby in Somalia
Mogadishu, APR 4 – Four teenagers and an infant have been killed and at least four more people were injured in a suicide attack in Somalia‘s capital on Saturday evening, an official said.
A suicide bomber blew himself up near a busy restaurant in Mogadishu’s Shangani district, according to police spokesperson Sadaq Adan Ali.
“At around 19:00 tonight, a suicide bomber blew himself up at a tea party gathering young people. The casualties are 6 dead (4 teenagers, 1 infant and suicide bomber) and 4 others injured,” he said in a statement released to the media.

No group has yet claimed responsibility for the bombing, but the al-Shabaab terror group has been behind most recent attacks in the Somali capital.
