Somalia roadside bomb kills at least 20 in minibus: Official
MOGADISHU, Somalia — A roadside bomb exploded and killed at least 20 people in a minibus in Somalia’s Lower Shabelle region Thursday evening, the region’s governor said, blaming the extremist group al-Shabab.
Most of the victims were women, Ibrahim Aden Ali said. He called the blast a “national disaster.”
Six other people were injured, regional security official Nur Abdullahi told The Associated Press.
The massive bomb buried beside the road struck the vehicle near Golweyn village and largely destroyed it, Abdullahi said.
