Somalia Prime Minister Hassan Khaire praised the security forces in Mogadishu for their selfless and bravery in responding to terror attacks that hit Mogadishu on Saturday 15, June 2019.
Khaire speaking at the scene of the two bomb attacks-Sayidka and KM4, he lauded security forces for their heroic efforts by putting their lives in the line for the safety of their country. He noted their efforts to secure Somalia citizenry will be rewarded.
The first bomb went off at about 2 pm in Sayidka junction near the Lower House killing 9 people on the spot while the second one exploded shortly after the first one at KM4 when security forces ordered a minivan to stop at a check point.
The driver of the minivan who was injured when the van exploded at KM4 junction was arrested immediately.
The PM’s visit to the scene came hours after the twin attacks which have so far claimed 11 innocent lives and injured 26 people. The heinous attacks have so far been claimed by the Al-Qaeda affiliate, Al-Shabaab.
