Deadly attack targets at Somalia food convoy

 

Not Lessthan 20 peoples, including women and children, have been killed and food aid destroyed after militants attacked several vehicles in Somalia's central Hiiraan region.

"They put a bomb while people were in the car and blew it up," the Hiiraan's governor told the Dornlinsal Global Resources Somali service.

Islamist militant group al-Shabab has said it was targeting a government-affiliated armed group.

Somalia is facing worst drought in a decade.

Threat from al-Shabab militants, who want to overthrow the central government, also continues to grow.

The al-Qaeda-linked group controls much of southern and central Somalia, but has been able to extend its influence into areas controlled by the government, which is based in the capital Mogadishu.
