MOGADISIO (Reuters) – At least 100 people were killed and 300 injured when two car bombs exploded outside the Ministry of Education in Somalia’s capital, Mogadishu, on Wednesday. President Mohammed announced on the 30th.

“The people were massacred. Mothers holding their children, sick fathers, students sent to study, businessmen working hard to make ends meet for their families,” said the president who expressed .

No one has claimed responsibility, but the president has blamed the Islamist group al-Shabaab. Al-Shabaab often does not claim responsibility for attacks that have caused many casualties.

More than 500 people were killed at the site in October 2017 when a lorry bomb exploded in the country’s deadliest history.
