13 Killed as Somali Islamists Attempt Parliament Blow-Up

At least 13 people were killed and dozens injured in Mogadishu last Sunday as Somalia’s main Islamist group, Al Shabaab, attempted to blow up the country’s parliament.

The Islamists had fired mortars from the Somali capital’s main Bakara market, targeting parliament buildings where legislators were discussing a vote of no confidence on the country’s interim government. The attack missed its target, and African Union troops battled the fighters to derail them and prevent further loss of life.

Somalia has remained unstable and lawless since its last functioning government was overthrown by clan warlords in 1991

Comment …this report reminds us that the world has not really changed that much in the last 350 years
The only difference is that here in the UK we celebrate the attempted coup !!!
