More information is available about a major attack that began with a suicide bombing in Godka Jilicow in the Boondheere district of Mogadishu.
The attack site, known as Godka Jilicow, is a site controlled by the National Intelligence and Security Agency (NISA), which is one of the most heavily guarded areas.
Witnesses in the area around Godka Jilicow said that the attack that began with the explosion was followed by an exchange of gunfire between security forces and the attackers.
The suicide bombing occurred just hours after the Federal Government of Somalia said it had secured the capital, and removed roadblocks that had been blocked with stones for years due to security reasons.
The exact number of casualties from the attack is still unknown, but preliminary reports indicate that there were casualties, and it is difficult to know the exact number of casualties, as security forces have closed several roads near the site of the explosion.
