Terrorist Truck Bombings in Somalia Leave Hundreds Dead
Oct 16, 2017 under World 513
More than 500 people were killed or seriously injured in a pair of truck bombings in Somalia on Saturday, in what will likely end up being one of the world’s deadliest terrorist attacks since 9/11. Two truck bombs were detonated in the densely populated heart of Mogadishu, demolishing nearby buildings, crushing cars and buses, and leaving more than a city block littered with the dead and injured. The first bomb was the most deadly, set off outside the popular Safari Hotel near Somalia’s foreign ministry in Mogadishu’s Hodan district. A second bomb was then detonated nearby in the city’s Madina district.
