Suicide Bombing in Somalia Kills 4 People, Days After Another Blast Targets Gov't Spokesperson
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Somalia, at least four people have been killed and 10 others injured
in a suicide bombing in the capital Mogadishu. The armed group al-Shabab
claimed responsibility for the attack Tuesday. The assailant walked into
a tea shop - located near a Turkish military installation where Somali
soldiers are trained - and detonated an explosive vest. This comes just
two days after a Somali government spokesperson was injured in another
suspected suicide bombing.
