"Bomb detonates near office of Somali prime minister" by Elaine Hennig

A bomb was detonated by a suicide bomber near the office of Abdi Farah Shirdon, the Somali prime minister. It is unclear how many casualties resulted from the bomb. Is is also unknown if the prime minister was in the building at the time of the bombing. A security guard was killed while trying to fight off the bomber, and at least two people were injured. Windows were also shattered in nearby buildings. The bombing could have something to do with unfulfilled promises from the prime minister.

This article doesn't cover all of the facts, and the reader is left with questions. The facts it does cover aren't very detailed, and it seems like not very much information is known. Hopefully more information will be obtained and the article will be updated.

  2. Wow... it's crazy how some people can have such anger built up for other people that they go this far. Events such as this are becoming more and more common, it's sad.
