At around 0900hrs, two (2) Vehicle Borne Improvised Explosive Devices (VBIEDs) detonated close to the MIA causing a number of fatalities and injuries. The AU Special Representative for Somalia, Ambassador Francisco Caetano Madeira hailed the swift response by Somali security forces and AMISOM, who prevented the vehicles from proceeding further and thereby thwarted the attack. The AU Special Representative commiserates with the families of innocent civilians who lost their lives and wishes quick recovery to those who sustained injuries. "Al-Shabaab is desperately seeking relevance and will do anything to keep in the news headlines. AMISOM will continue to work with the Somali security institutions to forestall Al-Shabaab acts of terror,” Ambassador Madeira said. |
