Mogadishu (HOL) - A suspected al-Shabab militant died along with his two children when an improvised explosive device (IED) he was making exploded in his house near Mogadishu on Saturday night. His wife was also injured in the blast.
The police spokesman told state-owned media that the incident occurred in Elasha Biyaha, 15km south of Mogadishu. However, no arrests were made after security forces arrived at the scene.
The incident is not the first of its kind, as explosions have previously occurred in houses where mines and other explosives were being prepared, both in Mogadishu and in different regions.
