Beach attack in Somali capital kills dozens

At least 32 people were killed in a suicide attack carried out by al-Shabab militants at a popular beachfront location in the Somali capital, a police spokesman said on Saturday.
According to one eyewitness, everyone were in a state of fear because “it was hard to know what was happening because shooting started soon after the blast”.
According to Abdilatif Ali, some individuals sought to seek refuge on Lido beach, while others attempted to evacuate the area.
“I saw wounded folks on the seashore. “People were screaming in panic, and it was difficult to tell who was dead and who was still alive,” he continued.
