ISIL group claims to have bombed an African Union vehicle on the outskirts of Mogadishu, Somalia, marking what would be its first attack in the country.
Reports of the bombing – which if proven genuine would be the first attack by ISIS’s newly developed cell in an area previously dominated by Al-Qaeda – emerged online today.
The vehicle was hit by an improvised explosive device in the Taridish area on the outskirts of the city, according to SITE Intelligence Group.
Meanwhile, Jeo Kibet, spokesman for African Union mission in Somalia, speaking to Shabelle Media has denied claims by ISIL group that roadside bomb destroyed military vehicle carrying AMISOM troops.
It was not clear if there were casualties or how many people may have been injured in the attack.
