On 29 September 2023 an al-Shabaab suicide bomber detonated an explosive belt in a tea shop in the capital Mogadishu, Somalia, leaving 11 dead and 18 others injured.[1] The explosion took place at a checkpoint leading to the parliament and the president's office.[2]
Later that day, al-Shabaab claimed responsibility and a man was arrested who was believed to be a suspect of supplying weapons to the group and to be one main illegal arms dealers in Somalia.[3][1]
