Two injured after twin car bombs explode in Mogadishu
At least two people have sustained injuries in two car bombings in Mogadishu, the capital of Somalia, an emergency worker and a police officer said.
No group has yet claimed responsibility for planting the bombs, which detonated in two different cars near a main road in the city center.
However, the al-Shabab terrorist group has frequently carried out bombings in Mogadishu and other parts of the Horn of Africa country.
Abdikadir Abdirahman, director of AMIN ambulance services, told Reuters the blasts had so far injured two people. Major Ahmed Nur, a police officer, also told Reuters the bombs had been planted in the cars by terrorists.
He said one of the cars was parked and had nobody in it, while the second was moving and the two people inside it had been injured.
The attack came one day after separate attacks in Mogadishu killed at least three people including a female university student, who was shot dead in her class by two men armed with pistols.
In another attack on September 2, a car bombing in Mogadishu left at least six people dead and 15 others wounded.
The attack, which targeted local government offices, was claimed by al-Shabab.
The terrorist group also killed six more people later on September 10 in another car bomb attack on a local government building.
