Somalia suicide car bomb attack rocks capital, leaving at least 78 dead
CNN ^ | December 28, 2019 | Omar Nor, Raja Razek and Lauren Said-Moorhouse

At least 78 people are dead and 125 more injured after a massive car bomb exploded at a busy intersection on the outskirts of Somalia's capital, Mogadishu, on Saturday, according to Abdulkadir Abdirahman Adan, founder of a local free ambulance service.

Earlier, government spokesman Ismael Mukhtar told CNN that the attacker drove his vehicle into the "Ex-control Afgoye" checkpoint, a well-known junction that links the south of Somalia to the capital.

Mukhtar added that university students were among the dead.

The attack happened during rush hour in the Somali capital at about 8 a.m. local time, and both civilians and soldiers are among the dead, police said.

Police conduct security searches at the checkpoint, but there is also a taxation office located nearby and the area is heavily populated with civilians and security forces.

Am I the only one surprised that a Car Bomb hasn’t happened here yet? I guess we’re waiting for them to graduate from Pressure Cooker Bombs loaded with Fireworks Gunpowder.

78 dead? Gee, I guess we should bring in more of them to Minnesota, to live in Somali Democrat Omar's district.

Somali Democrat suicide bombers are just dying to get into the US....and into our govt.

The “Muslim Caucus” (AKA as "The Parasites") has officially formed in the United States Congress and attached itself like a tumor to the far Left Communist Democratic Party, and held their first terror tied event on July 23-July 24 in Washington DC.

The new Muslim Caucus already has a website and extensive social media. Their first conference will be featuring an array of anti-American, anti-Semitic, and Trump disparaging terror-tied icons like Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, and woman beater and Minnesota Attorney General, Keith Ellison, who resigned from his role as DNC co-chair last year.

======================================

THIS IS OUR MOMENT TO ORGANIZE AS ONE CONSTITUENCY During this historic time of a nation divided, we must defend access to the tools of democracy, which requires grassroots organizing led by Muslim Americans in Muslim communities, strategic coordination across states with year-round organizing to engage Muslim citizens to build their political power.

It requires capacity building and progress as a collective toward policy change and political education, as well as the patience to persist in the long-term work of building sustainable movements that can be linked with related fights for equality and justice within the multi-ethnic, multi-racial Muslim constituencies across America.

This is our moment to come together and organize as one constituency, bridge traditional advocacy, and policy organizations and grassroots groups to work together in building Muslim American Electoral Power at the local, state, and national level to build our power beyond 2020.

According to the Muslim Caucus website, “A Caucus represent the interest of a specific group or constituency such as Blacks, Hispanics, Labor, and Asians, etc. within the Democratic Party. Therefore, the Muslim Caucus of America represents the interest of the racially and ethnically diverse constituency of Muslim American Democrats.

Muslims killing Muslims (when they’re not killing infidels).

14 centuries of this and counting. Total eradication at this point is impossible. The best to hope for is containment.

“I saw this was a CNN article and read it to find the Anti Trump smear tucked in there somewhere....Surprisingly I found none...someone is fired.... “

Obviously you read an abbreviated version of the report, as the editors are not permitted to let a story be posted without a suitable attack on the President.

No comment from Mogadishu-born Omar about this? She must be too busy with her new squeeze.
