Sharjah 24 – AFP: Two huge car bombings rocked Somalia's education ministry in the capital Mogadishu on Saturday causing casualties and shattering windows of nearby buildings, police and witnesses said.
The "simultaneous explosions occurred along the Zobe road and there are various casualties. We will provide details later," Sadik Dudishe, Somali police spokesman said.
A vehicle loaded with explosive was driven into the ministry compound and followed by gunfire, police officer Ibrahim Mohamed said.
"In a few minutes another blast occurred in the same area," he said.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the attack but terrorist group Al-Shabaab remains a potent force despite multinational efforts to degrade its leadership.
