MOGADISHU, Somalia – A powerful explosion in Mogadishu, Somali capital killed one person and wounded two others amid relative calm in the coastal city.
Abdiwahab Osman Ahmed, an employee with Hormuud, Somalia’s largest Telecom company lost his precious life after an IED attached to a minibus belonging to the giant firm went off while driving in Huriwa district.
Two other staff members who sustained critical wounds were rushed to a nearby hospital for medical treatment, according to the company. No group has yet claimed responsibility for the attack targeted Hormuud Telecom’s vehicle.
The incident comes 10 days after a landmine struck a car ferrying security guards of the privately-owned phone company outside Mogadishu, killing a staffer identified as Ahmed Omar Abdulle.
Last month, a series of IED blasts targeted Hormuud Telecom’s branches and BTS in Deynile and Elasha Biyaha areas and no group or individual claimed yet responsibility.
