At least 10 killed by al-Shabab suicide attack in Mogadishu

Dozens also injured after the attacker targets a tea shop in the Somali capital.

An al-Shabab suicide attack on a crowded tea shop in Somalia’s capital Mogadishu on Friday has killed 10 people and wounded dozens. The death toll from the attack, which targeted the shop near heavily guarded government institutions on Friday evening, was significantly higher than the four reported earlier. “On the evening of July 2, a suicide bomber wearing a vest detonated the device near the Juba Hotel, killing at least 10 people with dozens injured,” the ministry of information, culture and tourism said in a statement on Saturday.
