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.

If this were left to the deranged Ilhan Omar and her brand of hate, Minneapolis would quickly descend to the level of violence of Mogadishu.

The number of dead is always reported.

But....We rarely learn about those who are **permanently** and horribly crippled, or those who painfully die from their injuries days, weeks, and months later.

“Back Hawk Down” happened in 1993.

Why almost 27 years later U.S. officials and media cannot blame the culture of Somalia and how its dominant religion informs that culture for what continues to go wrong in Somalia? Ignorance? Or just refusal to admit the truth.

Who cares?

Maybe a Somalia who died could have invented the cure for cancer, the warp drive for interstellar travel, cost free energy, the possibilities are endless....

But they died dreaming of jihad or sex with a goat....

The religion of blow them to pieces.

Of course it was, it fits their pattern. You knew that of course. The only question is this: will the lying, liberal lamestream media fail to report on yet another islamic terrorist attack? (of course they will.)

The media will somehow find a way to blame this on President Trump for killing the head of ISIS, bag-dahdi which is causing all these attacks to occur. Watch.

I'll take "refusal to admit the truth" for 400, Alex.
