                Al-Shabab Militants Attack Somali Police Station

   Militants in central Somalia have attacked a police station, leaving 16
   people dead.
   Witnesses said a car bomb exploded Tuesday outside the entrance to the
   station in Beletweyne, and then a group of four armed gunmen stormed
   the building.
   Officials said all of the attackers as well as several police officers
   and civilians were killed.
   The Islamist militant group al-Shabab claimed responsibility, saying it
   had killed both Somali and Djiboutian nationals.
   Djibouti is one of the countries that contributes troops to an African
   Union peacekeeping force in Somalia.
   Al-Shabab said last month it was behind a bombing at a cafe in the same
   town that killed at least 15 people.
