No comment, Ilhan? Too busy condemning the Jews? She’s praised al Qaeda and mocked Americans who feared them.

Deaths as bomber detonates in Mogadishu mayor’s office

A suicide bomber walked into the office of Mogadishu’s mayor and detonated explosives strapped to his waist, killing several people and badly wounding the mayor, Somali police said Wednesday.

MOGADISHU, Somalia (AP) — A suicide bomber walked into the office of Mogadishu’s mayor and detonated explosives strapped to his waist, killing six people and badly wounding the mayor minutes after a visit from the new United Nations envoy, Somali officials said Wednesday.

The attack claimed by the al-Shabab extremist group occurred after the envoy to Somalia, James Swan, paid the mayor a “courtesy call” and left the compound, an official at the mayor’s office told The Associated Press. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the media.

The U.N. mission in Somalia in a tweet before the bombing posted photos of the smiling mayor and envoy, saying Swan had received an overview of the “challenges” in the region.

The mayor, Abdirahman Omar Osman, and his deputy were rushed to a hospital with critical wounds, police Capt. Mohamed Hussein said.

Somalia’s information minister Mohamed Abdi Hayir said six officials were killed and six others were wounded. He told reporters the mayor was being treated and gave no further details. He also confirmed an investigation was underway.

A Somali intelligence official said the officials killed included two district commissioners, two local government directors and a senior adviser to the mayor. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the media.

It was not clear how the bomber managed to enter the mayor’s office during a security meeting. Some security officials said the attacker might have coordinated with corrupt officials, offering them bribes for access.

The al-Qaida-linked al-Shabab often targets government buildings such as the presidential palace and other high-profile parts of Mogadishu with bombings.

The security officials said Wednesday’s attack appeared to be a shift in tactics, as the extremists in the past had rarely managed to infiltrate heavily fortified government buildings without first detonating one or more vehicle bombs.

The Somalia-based al-Shabab was chased out of Mogadishu years ago but still controls parts of the Horn of Africa nation’s south and central regions and is a frequent target of U.S. airstrikes.

LOL ! Agree.

They come, steal , threaten, takeover and ethnically cleanse with/without violence https://tinyurl.com/y7yhc4dl

Jihadis destroy church, kill non-muslims everywhere they go because as per koran its their religious duty to do it !

you cannot win unless there is organised legal /political pushback. And that cannot happen without more ppl funding , supporting , sharing real news that expose the truth that MSM will not cover

But Most conservatives, patriots expect someone else will do it for them !

Ms. Omar’s real district.

And Ms. Tlaib’s should read:

Yes, isn’t that great? Considering that 2 of the 9/11 douche bags were from Yemen and is where the ship was bombed. Screw Yemen.

Omar should realize her religion does not have any honor. They’ll kill their own kind if they have too.

Islam is not a religion,it is a political-criminal cult that masquerades as a religion.Look at the killings as we would two or three mafia gangs fighting over turf, really nothing more and nothing less.

Nothing to be alarmed about here. This is just practice for when they come out west. Ilhan Omar isn’t saying anything because of course this was cleared with her first. Somebody did something on 9/11 and somebody is going to be doing something again real soon. And just like after 9/11 they imported many more Muslims. It stands to reason with what happened in Somalia we should import more Somalis for their protection.

Don’t be too tough on Omar. She and her “squad” are doing a wonderful job blowing up the Commiecrat Party for 2020! She doesn’t need a suicide vest,just her mouth does the job quite well.

Looks like there might be an opening for a new mayor for Mogadishu. I would like to nominate Ilhan Omar for the position…..

Ah yes, good old Muslim Somalia again, home of Ilhan Omar and her favourite terrorists who “did something”! As many Muslims keep telling us, Islam loves death. I just wish that more of them with get on with their own.

Ilhan Omar should say something about this. But hopefully not comments similar to her 9/11 ones.
