Islamist group bombs Somali restaurant, at least three dead

Somali Islamist group al Shabaab bombed a restaurant frequented by members of the security forces in Mogadishu on Saturday, killing at least three people, officials and the group said. Police said a suicide car bomb rammed the Blue Sky restaurant in the capital, which is located near a detention center, known as Jilaow, where militants are often held in underground cells. Al Shabaab frequently launches attacks in Mogadishu in its bid to topple the Western-backed government.
