Somalia: Al-Shabaab Suicide Car Bomb Attack Targets Galmudug leaders

In a brazen act of terror, the notorious extremist group al-Shabaab orchestrated a devastating suicide car bomb attack in Laas Ga’amey, Somalia. The attack targeted a gathering of high-ranking politicians, regional leaders, and local militia commanders who had convened to discuss and plan counterterrorism operations.

The attack unfolded in the frontline village of Laas Ga’amey, nestled between Wisil and Ba’adweyne, within Somalia’s Galmudug State. Early friday morning, the nation was rocked by a massive explosion caused by a suicide vehicle-borne improvised explosive device (SVBIED), a grim reminder of the ongoing threat posed by al-Shabaab.
