Al-Shabab targets diplomat in Mogadishu
Mogadishu, 25 Jun - (ANA) - A military vehicle escorting a United Arab Emirates' diplomatic convoy was hit by a car bomb in Somalia's capital, killing at least 12 people, police say. The UAE ambassador survived the suicide attack as he was riding in a bullet-proof land cruiser, correspondents say. The militant Islamist group al-Shabab says it carried out the attack, to target "a foreign enemy". Al-Shabab is battling Somalia's government for control of the country. On Sunday morning, a suicide bomber and gunmen attacked a training centre for the national intelligence agency. The militants have vowed to intensify attacks during the Muslim fasting month of Ramadan. (ANA)
