MOGADISHU, 20 February 2022, (TON): At least 13 people have been killed in central Somalia on Saturday after a suicide bomber detonated explosives in a restaurant packed with local officials and politicians.
He added “the dead were mostly civilians and 20 other people were wounded in the town of Beledweyne, police spokesman Dini Roble Ahmed said. The blast caused huge damage.”
Witnesses said a large explosion tore through an open area of the Hassan Dhiif restaurant where people gathered under trees to eat lunch.
Witness Mahad Osman said “I saw dead bodies of several people and I could not count how many wounded that were rushed to hospital.”
“Some of these people were waiting for their ordered meals to come while enjoying the fresh weather when the blast occurred.”
Police and government officials confirmed the restaurant attack was the result of a suicide bomber, but did not give the number of casualties.
