Hormuud employees die in roadside bomb attack

Hormuud Telecom employees were killed in a roadside bomb attack on the outskirts of the Somali capital of Mogadishu. 

In a press statement, the company detailed that six members of staff tragically died after their vehicle drove over a roadside bomb in the Garasbaley district, as they were on their way to the neighborhood of Ceelasha Biyaha.

This attack followed another that destroyed a Hormuud retail store on March 19th. There had been other explosions that injured staff but the operator did not disclose further details.  

Reuters reported, Al-Qaeda linked militant group al Shabaab revealed itself to be responsible for similar previous attacks. No one has claimed responsibility for this latest bombing.

It has been a tumutulous year for the operator. Hormuud was raided by the Somali government in over a dispute regarding customer data, but resolved the issues this year.
