The event took place in El Gabta’s denial when the President’s motorcade traveled from the palace in the direction of the Mogadisho airport.

Responsibility for attacking has already been obtained in a terrorist organization Ash Shabaab. Terrorists said they damaged the President’s motorcade immediately after leaving the President’s Palace at the airport.

Kharakat al-Shabab al-Mujakhidin (Mujahedov youth movement) is a Salafi terrorist organization in Somalia, which also operates in several neighboring countries.
The association appeared in 2006 as a result of the Ethiopia invasion of the Republic based on the remains of the Islamic Courts Union (SIS), when all the power in Somalia was in the hands of the temporary federal government.
