A car bomb critically injured a university lecturer in Somalia's capital Mogadishu today and has been blamed on Islamist rebels who have promised to keep up attacks even as they have lost territory to a military offensive.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility by the al-Shabaab group but it has often used such devices. Also an al-Shabaab car bomb killed four people in Mogadishu on Sunday.
"It was a planted bomb probably controlled remotely," police captain Isa Ahmed, blaming al-Shabaab for the today’s blast. It was not clear whether the bomb had targeted the lecturer, he said.
A source at Madina hospital said the man, a lecturer at Mogadishu's SIMAD University, was in a coma and in a critical condition.
