At least one Soldier was killed, and three others wounded in a grenade bomb attack in Somali capital, Mogadishu on Wednesday night, an Eyewitness said.
An unnamed Eyewitness who spoke to Radio Shabelle said suspected Al Shabaab members hurled a grenade on army officer’s house in Mogadishu’s Dharkenley district.
The Al Shabaab suspects tried to assassinate Mohamed Aden Omar, who is in charge of the operations of Somali National Intelligence and Security Agency (NISA) during the attack.
The officer has escaped the attempt on his life, according to residents who said one security guard was killed and 3 others sustained severe injuries in the bomb explosion.
The assailants have escaped from the scene, shortly after the attack before NISA troops arrived and launched an investigation for the bomb blast, reports said.
