Bomb Blast Kills 15 People in Mogadishu
---------------------------------------

In Somalia, at least 15 people were killed in a suicide bombing in the
capital Mogadishu. The attack reportedly targeted recruits at a Somali
army training camp. At least 20 others were wounded. Al-Shabab later
claimed responsibility for the attack. This comes as the Pentagon is
working on a proposal to deploy dozens of Special Forces trainers to
Somalia to help local officials combat al-Shabab. In January, former
President Trump withdrew some 700 troops from Somalia.
