'Really Horrendous.' Truck Bombing Is Now Deadliest Attack in Somalia

Police and hospital sources spoke out about their deadliest single attack in Somalia's capital, Mogadishu. This horrendous bomb blast reached a high of189 dead and 200 or so injured. With many not fully recognizable, it was difficult for doctors to assist all their needs. There are still possibilities for the death toll to keep rising but will remain unknown since sources are unauthorized to speak to reporters because they want to remain anonymous. Noting like this has ever occurred in Mogadishu. Grief roams the street as ambulances are constantly going off and families wander through the building's rubble. Three days of mourning have been declared by President Mohamed Abdullahi Mohamed along with the choice to volunteer alongside many others for the desperate call for blood donations from hospitals. The Somalian government have turned to blame the al-Qaida- linked al-Shabab extremist group for this bomb attack which affected none but the innocent civilians.
