MOGADISHU, Somalia, Aug. 21 (UPI) -- An explosion at a house used as a bomb-making center by the Somali militant group al-Shabaab killed several people, a member of the group said Saturday.
The unnamed militant described the dead as "top fighters" and said they included both Somalis and foreigners, Garowe Online reported. The man said two vehicles loaded with explosives to be aimed at African Union peacekeepers and Somali security forces blew up.
Sheik Mukhtar Robow Abu Mansoor, deputy leader of al-Shabaab, owns the house in Mogadishu.
Maj. Barigye Bahuko, a spokesman for AMISOM, the African Union military mission, said there had been advance warning of potential attacks and AMISOM is prepared. AMISOM had asked al-Shabaab and other insurgent groups to declare a truce during the holy month of Ramadan.
The government reported another insurgent death, a man killed by his own bomb in the Waaberi neighborhood of Mogadishu.

LOL. Classic! Reminds me of the ‘70s, when there were weekly reports of Muzzie terrorists blowing themselves up!

Does it really matter the house I hoped was leveled and the tin used on the roof should be in orbit about now.
I did notice this statement in the article. “The unnamed militant described the dead as “top fighters””. Way to go Achmed, so much for your expert training, internet must have gone down, probably AT&T.
