Mogadishu
At least nine people were killed in two al-Shabaab attacks in Somalia on Tuesday, police said. One attack killed six people in the capital when a suicide bomber struck in Warta-Nabadda district, police officer Ali Hassan said.
The suicide bomber also died. Thirty others were wounded, he said, with home-grown militants al-Shabaab claiming responsibility on their radio station.
In a separate incident, three Somali soldiers were killed and four others wounded when their military convoy hit a roadside bomb as it was travelling between Mogadishu and the town of Afgoye, military official Mohamed Hussein said.
Al-Shabaab - which steps up attacks during the holy month of Ramadan, targeting hotels, security checkpoints and local government buildings –claimed responsibility for that attack too.
