The Qatari Foreign Ministry on Sunday condemned in strong terms the suicide car bombing which targeted staffers of the Turkish embassy on the southern outskirts of Mogadishu, capital of Somalia, yesterday.
The government and people of the State of Qatar renew support to and solidarity with the peoples of Turkey and Somali in the face of such despicable acts of terrorism, QNA news agency quoted an official of the ministry as saying.
These criminal attacks on innocent lives aim to destabilize Somalia, the official said, expressing condolences to the families of the victims and the governments of Turkey and Somalia.
Earlier today the Somali Al-Shabab militia claimed responsibility for the attack which left four deaths, including a Turkish security officer and the two assailants, besides wounding several passersby.
The attack, the first against the Turkish diplomatic mission in the east African country, took place in front of the gates of a building housing Turkish embassy workers near k4 (Kilometer Four).
