Al Shabaab said in a statement, that suicide bombings and attacks targeted government bases and camps in Mogadishu and its outskirts.

“Attacks like last night will happen again and again. Our decision is that foreigners will not be able to carry out their plans in Somalia, for the rest of our lives.” said Muse Abdi Arrale, who claims to be al-Shabaab’s governor of Benadir region.

Al Shabaab said its forces took control of Kahda district and other neighborhoods in Mogadishu for a few hours and bogged down government forces.
