Mosque bombed in Kismayo, Southern Somalia

Two people died and 13 others were wounded in a grenade blast at a mosque in the town of Kismayo in Southern Somalia late Sunday, May 2.

"The bomb killed two people at the scene and thirteen wounded people were taken
to hospital." Hassan Nur, a resident in Kismayo, told Tiziano.

Somalia has been without central government since 1991 when clan militias and warlords overthrew the dictatorial regime of Siad Barre, which plunged the nation into 20 years of anarchy and violence.
