Somalia: Beach attack leaves 32 dead

| @indiablooms | 03 Aug 2024, 06:47 pm

At least 32 people were killed and several others were injured in a suicide attack at a restaurant in Somalian city of Mogadishu on Saturday.

Police Forces Spokesperson, Abdifitah Aden Hassan told SONNA news agency that 32 people were killed and 63 civilians were injured in the incident.

He said the security forces took swift action against terrorists to rescue civilians.

“The Security forces killed all the terrorists at the scene and captured another one who was driving a car filled with explosives, he shot and injured. We lost one soldier and another one sustained injuries,” Hassan said.

According to reports, the terrorists belonged to Al-Shabaab terrorist group.

Al-Shabaab is a Sunni Islamist military and political organization based in Somalia and active elsewhere in East Africa.

It is actively involved in the ongoing Somali Civil War and incorporates elements of Somali nationalism into its Islamist cause.

Allegiant to the militant pan-Islamist organization al-Qaeda since 2012, it has also been suspected of forging ties with al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb, and al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula.
