The Somali capital of Mogadishu is still coming to terms with the Saturday bomb attack which has claimed over 300 lives as rescue and recovery teams continue moving the rubble to find trapped victims.As the families bury the dead and at least three countries airlift the injured for further treatment, questions still abound, with little answers coming through.Residents have taken to the streets condemning the attack which the government has blamed on the Al-Shabaab while the terror group has strangely not claimed responsibility.The group which has claimed credit for several attacks in the past has not said a word even though all indications point to its involvement.No known group in Somalia could carry out an attack of such magnitude. Pockets of the Islamic State in northern parts of the country have claimed responsibility for targeted killings in the semi-autonomous region of Puntland where an Al-Shabaab break-away faction sprouted from in 2015.
