MP killed in Somalia

     Somali official, Isak Mohamed Rino, was killed by a car bomb in the capital of Mogadishu yesterday. Al-Shabab, an Islamic militant group, claimed responsibility for the attack. Considering the amount of coverage that the conflict in Ukraine, the capsized ferry in South Korea, and the missing Malaysian aircraft are getting, it is interesting to see a story related to the conflict in Somalia. Since the Gulf War, fighting still plagues most of the country, yet most American citizens have little to no idea what is going on in that part of the world.
