Comment
Mogadishu — A roadside bomb was targeted a military convoy belonging to African Union peacekeeping forces in Mogadishu, causing an unconfirmed casualty, witnesses said on Saturday.
The AMISOM convoy came under the attack while they were on their way to a military base in Mogadishu's northern Shibis neighborhoods.
Da'ud Abdulle Ahmed, the district commissioner of Shibsi for Somali Government confirmed to Shabelle Media that the blast had caused serious damage to an AU convoy carrying mainly peacekeepers and nearby civilian car.
He noted that causalities can't be verified because the AU forces stayed at the spot for awhile and movements were halted.
AMISOM commanders in Mogadishu were not able to say how many had been killed or wounded following the attack.
In additional, at least on person was killed after TFG soldiers clash in Dharkenlay district over undisclosed reason, according to locals.
