Somali police told Xinhua News Agency that at about 2 p.m. local time on the 29th, the building of the Ministry of Education of Somalia was attacked by a car explosion. A few minutes later, another car bomb attack occurred in the same area. In the area where the incident occurred, schools and hotels are also concentrated in addition to the government departments. Mahmoud released the casualty information when inspecting the explosion site on the 30th. He said that those killed in the attack were civilians. As some of the injured are seriously injured, the death toll may rise. He said that the Somali government will intensify its efforts to combat terrorists. According to the Somali presidential palace, Mahmoud and Somali government officials met in Mogadishu on the 29th to discuss how to continue to combat and eliminate the "Shabab" militants. The Somali "Shabab" is an extremist organization associated with the "Al Qaida" organization.
