Somali intelligence agency seize explosives laden car in Mogadishu

Somali intelligence agency Sunday seized a car laden with explosives in Bondhere district in Mogadishu following a tip off from members of the public.

Somali News Agency quoted an official from NISA noting the security officials confiscated gas cylinders, rocket propelled grenades and metals rods loaded in the car.

The seizure follows two others in the last one month in Mogadishu.

Bondhere district commissioner Abdullahi Ali Abdulle thanked the residents of the district for their collaboration with the police in efforts to thwart any terror attacks.

The use of gas cylinders to make bombs has become a common feature among Al-Shabaab with the increased use of cooking gas in Mogadishu
