Report finds 512 died in deadliest Somalia bombing
Mogadishu, (MILLAT ONLINE):As many as 512 died in an October truck bombing in the Somali capital Mogadishu, an emergency committee investigating the terrorist atrocity has found.
An earlier death toll of 358 already made the October 14 bombing the deadliest terrorist attack in Somalia’s history. No group claimed responsibility, but the Al-Qaeda-aligned Shabaab militant group has been blamed.
“The overall number of people we have recorded involved in the casualty are 869 persons: 512 are dead, 295 wounded and about 70 others are not yet confirmed if they were dead and or missing,” Abdulahi Mohamed Shirwac, chairman of the Somali Emergency Operation Centre told AFP Saturday.
