Death Toll in Vehicle Explosion in Somalia Rises to at Least 230
KTLA ^ | 10/15/2017 | cnn wire

At least 230 people were killed in a double car bomb blast in the Somali capital of Mogdishu....

...

The first explosion destroyed dozens of stalls and the popular Safari Hotel in the heart of the city.

Footage from the scene showed damaged buildings and a burning truck at the first blast site. A large white building had collapsed into a pile of rubble and other structures appeared blackened and destroyed.

Qatar’s Embassy was also damaged, according to a statement from its Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The embassy’s charge d’affaires suffered minor injuries, the statement said.

Minutes after the first blast, a second vehicle bomb went off in the nearby Madina district.

There have been no claims of responsibility.

Security forces had been tipped off about the vehicle carrying explosives and were pursuing it in the busy K5 district of the city when the explosion happened, said Col. Ahmed Hassan of the Mogadishu police.

The K5 district plays host to numerous government buildings, restaurants and hotels.

They’re just naturally extremely violent people, they can’t even get along with each other, just look at Minnesota.

the most important thing is to keep them away from you and away from our people.

whenever there’s a chance to do it legally We should deport them.

Probably the bombing was done by gang of assault weapons. Weapons with smaller magazines and lower rates of fire only know how to set of fire crackers. /s

But before deporting them, we must stop importing them.

My naive young nephew posted a meme today on faceboob about the evils of the “war industry”

I told him some people simply need lilling and their sanctuary turned to rubble...

This story reminds me how true that is...

Proving again that the "Religion of Peace" is anything but.

And that if people want to hurt people they will sadly find a way.

Since they go to mosque 5 times per day to pick up their explosives, why not target the mosques at prayer time.

From CNN on 9/25/17:Thank goodness. People celebrating the Islamic cult already cause plenty of headaches here in the USA. We don't need any more.

Prayers for those affected.
