Car bomb attack on Somalia's main airport kills 2

None

A car bomb exploded at the front gates to Mogadishu's seaside airport on Thursday, killing at least two people in the latest in a surge of attacks against the country's weak government, officials said.

 

Vehicles from the African Union blocked the car bomb attacker from gaining entry into the airport, said Abdul Rahman Yussef, an official with Somalia's army. The 7,000-man AU force guards the airport and presidential palace and prevents the al-Qaida-linked militant group al-Shabab from overthrowing Somalia's weak government. (AP)
