At least five people were killed and six others wounded on Friday after a suicide bomber blew himself up at a restaurant in the Somali capital of Mogadishu.
Sadik Aden Ali, the police spokesperson, told the state-run Radio Mogadishu that the security forces are currently conducting investigations over the latest attack at Hawle Wadag District, which is close to Villa Somalia. “A suicide bomber from the al-Shabab terror group blew himself up at a teashop called Bar Bulsho in Hawle Wadag District this afternoon. The attack resulted in five deaths and six injuries, including the bomber himself,” Ali said.
Witnesses, however, said they saw at least seven dead bodies on site and more than 10 others wounded in an attack that left the restaurant destroyed.
