Car loaded with explosives blasts in Mogadishu

A car laden with explosives exploded in Hamarweyne district near Bacadlaha market today as the commissioner of Hamarweyne Abdikadir Mohamed Abdikadir confirmed to Goobjoog FM.

The commissioner stated that the security forces received information and  prevented the planned explosion meant to assassinate intelligence security officials who were on duty, but the car went off without causing any casualties.

The security forces immediately cordoned the area and launched operations to pursue those who masterminded the explosion.

This is the second time within twenty hours that security intelligence officers are targeted within the city, senior officer was killed and two others seriously wounded in Waaberi district on Monday after unknown gunmen opened fire on a car they were on board.
