Somalia: heavy explosion on top of flyover in Mogadishu

Muqdisho Sunday, September 07 2008 SMC 

The sound of intense explosion was in the early hours of Sunday morning heard at Hamar Jajab district in Banadir region.

The prime target of the explosion was a local beer brewer who has parked his car on top of a flyover in the area.

The beer brewer was severely wounded in the blast and his car sustained great damage, and immediately after the incident some Somali government force reached at the scene and collected the wailing brewer from the spot.

“I am a vegetable seller right below the flyover and when I heard the blast I could not guess which direction it was but I remained still where I was, just some few minutes after the explosion I again heard bullets, and within a blink of an eye I saw government soldiers on top of the flyover collecting a wounded person from where the explosion occurred when the situation returned to normal I came to know that the wounded person was a well-known beer brewer in the area” said a vegetable selling mother in the area who does not wish her name to be disclosed.

Some independent reports from the area say that the man had earlier been cautioned to stay away from what he is involved in, but remained reluctant. Despite the population in Mogadishu are Muslims there are several known places where local beer is brewed.
