Militant Islamist group al-Shabab has denied responsibility for a deadly suicide blast Thursday that killed at least 22 people, including 3 government ministers and a number of Somalia’s educated elite. The nation’s embattled president Sheikh Sharif Sheikh Ahmed addressed the country Thursday evening to condemn the attack, which the government blames on the Islamist rebels.
The spokesman for al-Shabab, Sheikh Ali Mohamud Rage, denied responsibility for the attack, suggesting it was the product of a feud within the government. Source: VOA
