Car Bomb Blast in Somalia

A Car Bomb blast initiated by a suicide bomber kills from 7-10 people and injures at least 10 people in Somalia yesterday.
A car filled with explosives was apparently targeting a truck full of Somali government officials but instead hit a civilian car and exploded, setting a nearby mini-bus on fire and killing at least seven people Monday, police and witnesses said. The blast happened close to the Somali government's headquarters.
The Islamic extremist group al-Shabab has continued to carry out terror attacks in Somalia's capital since being pushed out of Mogadishu in late 2011. No one  has initially claimed responsibility for the attack.
Security in Mogadishu has improved greatly since a military offensive drove Islamist rebels allied to al Qaeda out of the city in August 2011. But bombings and assassinations in Mogadishu, blamed on militants, still occur often.

One woman said---"They (al-Shabab) are the enemies of Somalia and Muslims," she said. "They kill our children, elderly and everyone. They are brutal and inhumane and feed blood and terror with their minds."

As Somalia tries to find peace again it seems that certain individuals tied to al-Shabab are trying everything in their power not to let that happen. Though the security in Mogadishu has improved a lot, something must be done so that more people are not killed and bombings are not a regular occurrance.
