Two suicide bombings in Somalia’s capital Mogadishu have killed 29 people. Four attackers were among the dead. According to the police, 70 other people were injured on Saturday, some are in critical condition. The attacks were carried out in front of the education ministry in Mogadishu, a police spokesman said. Most of the victims are civilians.

The terrorists control large parts of central and southern Somalia. They frequently carry out attacks on civilians, government officials, businessmen and journalists. The government in Mogadishu has been conducting a military offensive against Al-Shabaab for several months. With the support of armed clans and civilians, the Somali military has recently been able to achieve large territorial gains.
