Suicide bomber strikes in Somalia, 2 injured
MOGADISHU, Somalia (AA) – At least two people, including a soldier, were wounded when a suicide bomber blew himself up in Somalia’s Middle Shabelle region on Wednesday evening, an official said.
The attack took place near a popular hotel close to the Hirshabele state presidency in the town of Jowhar.
Roble Ahmed, spokesman for Hirshabele security agencies, confirmed the suicide bombing and casualties to Anadolu Agency over the phone.
He said security forces stopped the bomber over suspicion and he blew himself up during the search.
It is the third attack in the town in less than 30 days. Jowhar, which is the administrative capital of Hirshabele and the provincial capital of Middle Shabelle region, is located 90 kilometers (56 miles) north of Somalia’s capital Mogadishu.
No group has yet claimed responsibility for the attack.
