An al Shabaab suicide bomber in the Somali capital killed himself and a well-known Somali journalist on Saturday, al Shabaab and the journalist’s family told Reuters.
Abdiaziz Mohamud Guled, commonly known as Abdiaziz Afrika, worked with the government-owned Radio Mogadishu and covered al Shabaab extensively.
“He always shonea big light on al Shabaab, may God rest his soul,” Nur said.
“The mujahideen had been hunting Abdiaziz for a long time. He committed crimes against Islam, he was involved in the killing of mujahideens,” Abdiasis Abu Musab, al Shabaab military operation spokesperson, told Reuters by phone.
One of the injured was a director at the Somali National Television, the station said in a tweet.
Government and police spokespeople did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
