Somali President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud said Monday that a car bomb which killed at least 13 people the day before was an act of “desperation” by Shebab insurgents.
The attack took place on Sunday evening on a busy road leading to the government district, outside a popular cafe.
“It shows the desperation of Al-Shebab because they are only hurting innocent civilians,” Mohamud said in a statement, updating an initial toll after the blast of four.
In addition, 18 others were wounded, some of them seriously, Mohamud added.
