CNN —At least 100 people were killed after two car bombs exploded near Somalia’s education ministry in the capital Mogadishu on Saturday.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the attack, but the Islamist group al-Shabaab has claimed other recent attacks.
The two car bombs exploded near a busy intersection in the capital and near the Ministry of Education, according to an official with the president’s office.
