Bombings in Mogadishu – a 2017 timeline
The Somali capital has witnessed some of its deadliest attacks this year.
Published On 22 Oct 2017
Somalia’s capital Mogadishu was hit by its deadliest single attack last week when a truck bomb exploded, killing more than 350 people and wounding many more.
The coastal city has been facing deadly attacks for more than a decade.
Most of these assaults have been carried out by al-Shabab, an armed group fighting Somalia’s Western-backed government and wanting to impose a strict interpretation of Islam in the country.
