Somalia Parliament Buildings Attacked
TEHRAN (Tasnim) - A series of bombs exploded outside the Somali parliament in Mogadishu killing at least four people, police said.
An al-Shabab spokesman claimed responsibility for Saturday's attack in the Somali capital.
"The so-called Somali parliament is a military zone. Our fighters are there to carry out a holy operation. We shall issue a comprehensive report after the conclusion of the operation," the group's military spokesman, Abdulaziz Abu Musab, told AFP.
It was not immediately clear if the attackers had managed to penetrate the parliament complex.
