Mogadishu Blast Kills Scores

The al-Shabaab militant group launched a deadly attack on the capital of Mogadishu on Tuesday. The blast killed at least 70 civilians in the Somali capital, the deadliest attack by the al-Qaeda-affiliated rebels since 2007. According to witnesses, a truck exploded in front of a compound housing ministries near which students and parents were gathered to receive grades on scholarship exams. The islamist insurgents warned residents to steer clear of government establishments and military bases, warning there would be further attacks. Nurses and medics were overwhelmed by the ordeal of treating victims of the attack experience, while tearful parents waited outside a hospital for news of loved ones. Al-Shabaab withdrew from the capital in August, but analysts said that withdrawal would lead to a change in tactics for the group, one that included suicide attacks. Al-Shabab's stated aim is to eliminate U.N. support for the transitional government and impose their version of Sharia law in the Horn of Africa. By Noora Faraj Al Arabiya with Agencies
