MOGADISHU (Somalia): Authorities say the dying toll in a pair of explosions Friday evening in Somalia's capital has risen to 21.
The director of Aamin Ambulance provider, Dr. Abdirahman Abdulqadir, gave the brand new toll Saturday. It was confirmed via police Capt. Mohamed Hussein, who mentioned it was in line with figures from hospitals.
The two automobile bomb blasts shattered a months-long period of calm in Mogadishu, which is regularly the target of assaults via the al-Shabab extremist staff.
The first blast passed off near Somalia's intelligence headquarters and the second passed off near parliament's headquarters.
The Somalia-based al-Shabab claimed responsibility for the attack by the use of its radio arm, Andalus.
Mogadishu was the target of a truck bombing in October that killed 512 other people within the deadliest attack within the Horn of Africa country's historical past.
