At least 100 people lost their lives after twin car explosions in Mogadishu.
In what is believed to be the most devastating terror attack that hit the country in five years, 300 people were left nursing multiple injuries according to reports by officials.
Authorities in Somalia say the bombings were caused by the al Qaeda-linked al-Shabaab group that has been trying to overthrow Somalia’s Us backed government.
“This is the same as what happened five years ago. The same place, the same kind of people.” Somalia’s President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud stated.
