Al-Shabab attack kills 3 Somali police officers
Deadly terrorist group, al-Shabab has claimed responsibility for a car bombing attack which hit a police station in Somalia ‘ s capital of Mogadishu, killing at least three police officers in the process.
The group confirmed to Al Jazeera early on Wednesday that it carried out the attack stating that a car bomb was used in the bombing which also left two people seriously wounded in the explosion according to eyewitnesses.
The car bomb blast at the police station which is near the popular Udo beach hit a tea stand in front of the station where new recruits are trained in the Abdi Aziz district of Mogadishu.
