MOGADISHU, Somalia (HOL) - A suicide bomber drove a truck with explosives into Somalia’s main petroleum storage in Mogadishu killing eight people including six government soldiers and wounding several soldiers and civilians.

Deputy Governor of Benadir region who is also the Mayor of Mogadishu Mr. Abdirahman Ibrahim Sbriye Shaweye told us that he bomber is a foreign and they have parts of the bomber’s body which does not look like Somali.

The Mayor said that the three soldiers that died were guarding the front gate of the facility and that they stopped the bomber who was driving a Toyota truck at the front gate where he detonated the explosives.

Other reports related to the explosion say that the bomber wanted to explode his explosives at the Policy Academy where soldiers loyal to the government are stationed but after he was turned away twice from entering the Academy decided to explode his explosives at the front gate of the petroleum storage.

This suicide bombing comes at a time when in the last few days there have been clashes between the Transitional Federal Government (TFG) forces on one side and forces loyal to insurgent groups Al-Shabab and Hisbul Islam on the other hand.

Shanta and Fiqi
How true!!!!
I dont expect any condemnation from Aweys, because, as you said, the whole thing is his own creation.

BTW, what goes around comes. So, don’t be surprised to see Aweys running for his life from Shabaab in few years time. Time permitting, he will end up as a target for sucide bombing.

You guy know, if Sharif and his government leave the power, do you think they will work together and Somalia will get peace? no because their interest is too far away from each other.

The clan occupationist and Fanatics are worst enemies to each other; they will eliminate each other and take many people with them. We other peace loving Somalis will be coat in the middle.

Wixii hore oo dhan iqarso ayey noqonayaan marka labadaasu isku bilaabaan.

YEEYEEY,
Inta is badisiin sidii dhowr qofood isla hadla oo isla
sheekeeysta. Laakiin waxba idinka dhageysen meyno
ee isak ciya sidii dameeradii. Gaalada luqadooda iyo
maskaxdooda intaad wadataan oo aad ilbaxnimo moodeen,
ingiriis sida ajnabigii loogu hadlayo loona qorayo
oo horumar la mooday, waxba idiin socon maayaan ee
iska madadaaleysta. Laakiin waxaa xaqiiqo ah in
aan wadanka waxba la idinka warsaneyn maadaama aad
kulligiin noqoteen dabadhilifyo iyo gaalo jeceel.
