New York Times: At Least 189 Killed After Twin Bomb Attacks in Somalia
The death toll from twin bombing attacks in Somalia’s capital rose to 189 on Sunday as emergency crews pulled more bodies from burned cars and demolished buildings after the Saturday blasts.
Officials called the truck explosions one of the deadliest attacks to hit the capital, Mogadishu, since an Islamist insurgency began in 2007.

President Mohamed Abdullahi Farmaajo declared three days of national mourning and called for donations of blood and funds to help the victims.
