(Yahoo News) Somalia’s al-Shabab Suspected in Deadly Mogadishu Truck Blast

Written by Administrator Tuesday, 04 October 2011 17:10

The AP reported that al-Shabab claimed responsibility for the attack in a post on a website it uses, which read in part: "Our Mujahideen fighters have entered a place where ministers and [African Union Mission in Somalia] AMISOM foreigners stay." However, counter-terrorism analyst Evan Kohlmann disputed that Shabab had yet claimed responsibility for the attack. "Contrary to published reports, the Shabaab movement in Somalia has yet to post a claim of responsibility for a truck bombing in Mogadishu," he wrote on Twitter.
