Mogadishu truck bomb: 500 casualties in Somalia’s worst terrorist attack
At least 239 people killed and hundreds seriously injured in attack blamed on militant group al-Shabaab
At least 500 people are believed to have been killed or seriously injured in Mogadishu, the capital of Somalia, in one of the most lethal terrorist acts anywhere in the world for many years.
The death toll from Saturday’s attack, which involved a truck packed with several hundred kilograms of military-grade and homemade explosives, stood at 239 on Sunday but is expected to rise as more bodies are dug from the rubble spread over an area hundreds of metres wide in the centre of the city.
At least 300 people were injured, according to local reports.
