Somalia: Suicide bomber and diner killed in attack
MOGADISHU, Somalia (AP) — A suicide bomber detonated explosives inside a seaside restaurant in Somalia's capital on Friday, killing himself and one diner, a police official said.
Six others were wounded in the blast, which upended tables and destroyed one of the restaurant's walls, said Yusuf Ali, the captain of Mogadishu's police. A car bomb was also remotely detonated at the restaurant's gates, he said.
The bomber attacked a restaurant called Indian Ocean, one of Mogadishu's most expensive restaurants, where an order of lobster costs about $25. In mid-February a bomber attacked a restaurant next to Indian Ocean; only the bomber was killed.
