Somali students back after university bombing
Mogadishu, 14 Dec-(ANA)-Students and teachers were back in class at Mogadishu's Benadir University on Monday, determined to continue lessons despite a suicide bombing at their medical graduation ceremony that killed 22 people.
Somalia's government blamed the Dec. 3 attack on al Shabaab insurgents and said it was carried out by a 26-year-old Danish citizen of Somali descent.
He entered the function disguised as a veiled woman before blowing himself up near the podium.
Three government ministers and 10 members of Benadir's faculty and students were among those killed. At least 35 people were injured, including five medical professors. (ANA)
