'DEVASTATING' Mogadishu bombing 79 dead including kids as huge truck bomb rips through Somali capital
AT LEAST 79 people - including children - have been slaughtered after a truck bomb exploded at a busy security checkpoint in Somalia.

The blast in the capital Mogadishu targeted a tax collection centre during rush hour, said Captain Mohamed Hussein.
The dead included many students travelling on a bus and two Turkish brothers, officials said.

A large black plume of smoke rose above the city in what was the deadliest attack in Mogadishu since a 2017 bombing which killed hundreds, reports the Associated Press.

A Somali MP also tweeted that the death toll had spiralled to more than 90, including 17 cops - however that number has since been downgraded to 79.

At least 125 people were wounded, Aamin Ambulance service director Abdiqadir Abdulrahman said, and hundreds of locals donated blood in response to desperate appeals.

President Mohamed Abdullahi Mohamed condemned the attack as a heinous act of terror and blamed the local al-Shabab extremist group.

The warped terror cult linked to al-Qaida was pushed out of Mogadishu several years ago but continues to target high-profile areas such as checkpoints and hotels in the seaside city.

RIP
