Corresponding open source reports indicate that the bomber, thought to be with the Al-Qaeda (AQ) linked Al-Shabaab terrorist group, detonated his suicide vest inside the market in Wanlaweyn, killing the 10 civilians attending their businesses and injuring 15 others.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the blast but the Somalia-based Al-Shabaab has carried out similar attacks in the region.
