Somalia-Deadly Bomb Blast: Doctor Said At Least 300 People Died.
Confirmed 300 people died in the blast as twin bomb explosions in the heart of Somalia’s capital Mogadishu, doctors said on Monday, confirming the deadliest attacks since an Islamist insurgency began in 2007.
According to a doctor Aden Nur, at the city’s Madina hospital, said they had recorded 258 deaths while Ahmed Ali, a nurse at the nearby Osman Fiqi hospital, told Reuters five bodies had been sent there.
“160 bodies could not be recognized and so they were buried by the government (15th October).
The others were buried by their relatives. Over a hundred injured were also brought here,” Nur told Reuters at the hospital.
Local officials had put the death toll at over 200 on Sunday without giving a firm number following the blasts that struck two busy junctions on Saturday.
