Blast rocks military base in Somali capital

Dec 27, 2021

A huge blast rocked a military base in Somalia’s capital Mogadishu near a stadium on Saturday, killing at least eight people and injuring 14 which the militant group al Shabaab claimed responsibility.

“We conducted a successful martyrdom operation on a major apostate military base in Mogadishu,” the military operations spokesman of the al Shabaab group, Abdiasis Abu Musab, said

Since 2008, al Shabaab has been fighting to overthrow the internationally-recognised central government and establish its rule based on its own interpretation of Islamic Sharia law.
