In the Somalia capital of Mogadishu an explosion killed more than 70 people on October 4. According to reports, al Qaeda-linked rebels drove a truck bomb into the center of the capital, killing a host of students outside the education ministry and wounding countless others.
The AU force in Somalia (AMISOM) said a truck loaded with drums of fuel rammed a checkpoint outside a compound housing government ministries in the K4 area of Mogadishu, where students had gathered to register for scholarships offered by Turkey.
Somali’s al Qaeda linked rebels, the al Shabab, carried out the attack and later warned Somalis to stay away from government buildings and military bases. “More serious blasts are coming,” spokesman Sheikh Ali Mohamud Rage told reporters.
The government said no senior officials were hurt in the attack on the ministry buildings.
