Twin blasts near AU base, airport in Somali capital

MOGADISHU, Jan. 2 (PNA/Xinhua) -- Two powerful blasts went off near the airport and the base of Africa Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM) in the Somali capital Mogadishu, followed by heavy gunfire on Monday, an official and witnesses said.

AMISOM spokesman Joe Kibet confirmed the incidents but did not give the number of casualties.

Witnesses said the initial blast targeted the Halane military base manned by AU forces while the second went off outside a hotel next to Aden Adde International Airport.

Sporadic gunfire could still be heard from the two locations.

No group immediately claimed responsibility for the attack, but Somalia-based extremist group Al-Shabaab has carried out frequent assaults in the country, including many in Mogadishu.(PNA/Xinhua)

John 3:16-18 ESV
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son (Jesus Christ), that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.
