SUICIDE FEMALE BOMBER FAILED TO KILL
SOMALI PM
 Al-Shabab rebels have claimed responsibility for an explosion at Somalia's newly reopened national theatre in Mogadishu, on Wednesday 04/04/2012, that killed at least four people, including two of the country's top sports officials (see - Mogadishu 10.29.11). Abdirahman Omar Osman, a senior adviser to the Somali prime minister, said "It was a surprise and shock to us that a suicide bomber could come near Abdiweli Mohamed Ali [the Somali prime minister] who was giving a speech for the relaunch of the national theatre,...but luckily the prime minister was not harmed in the incident" Osman said. He added that at least four people were killed and dozens wounded in the blast on Wednesday."It was a surprise and shock to us that a suicide bomber could come near Abdiweli Mohamed Ali [the Somali prime minister] who was giving a speech for the relaunch of the national theatre," Osman said.The dead included the president of Somalia's Olympic committee Aden Yabarow Wiish and the president of its football federation Said Mohamed Nur, according to Shafici Mohyadin, the federation's secretary. "We were behind the theatre blast. We targeted the infidel ministers and legislators, and they were the casualties of today," Sheikh Abdiasis Abu Musab, the spokesperson for al-Shabab's military operations, told the Reuters news agency.Abbas Abdi, a journalist in Mogadishu, told Al Jazeera that a suspected female suicide bomber had detonated explosives at a celebration for Somali TV where the Somali prime minister, and other government officials were present.The reopening of the theatre on March 19 had been hailed by the government as signalling a marked improvement in security in the war-ravaged East African country.
But al-Shabab rebels, who pulled out of the capital IN 08/2011 have continued to strike targets in the heart of the coastal city using roadside bombs, mortar and suicide bombers.
Al-Shabab said, on 03/14/2012, after one its suicide bombers struck at the presidential palace, that more attacks would follow. The presidential palace has come under mortar attack several times in the last two weeks. The bombs have mostly fallen short, killing civilians.
