al shabab

The blast sent a plume of smoke above a busy part of Mogadishu during the morning rush hour and shredded part of the school.
Al-Shabab extremists have claimed responsibility for the deadly attack at Manda Bay Airfield early Sunday.
Gunfire continued into Wednesday morning, and dozens of trapped people were rescued overnight.
The bombing hit the center of the city of Mogadishu.
This is a critical year for the troubled African nation.
It was the country's worst terror attack in nearly two decades, and some fear it could happen again.
The Somalian militant group has showed no signs of stopping its attacks.
Witnesses said that gunmen shouted "Allahu akbar," the Arabic phrase for "God is great," as they entered the restaurant.
"Just by opening the university we have won the war against al-Shabab," a counselor at the school said.
The country says it will rehabilitate 700 citizens who joined Somalia’s al-Shabab militant group.
