MOGADISHU, Dhu-AlQa'dah 18, 1437, August 21, 2016, SPA -- At least 10 people were killed when two suicide car bombers attacked the local government headquarters in Somalia's Galkayo town in the semi-autonomous Puntland region on Sunday, police said, and the militant al Shabaab group claimed the attack. "We have confirmed 10 people dead including civilians and security forces," said Ali Ahmed, a police officer. Witnesses and residents said they heard two loud blasts in quick succession followed by heavy gunfire. "There were two huge bombs. The first one was a truck bomb, followed a minute or so (later) by another car bomb. My brother was injured at the scene," Halima Ismail, a local resident, told Reuters. --SPA 12:05 LOCAL TIME 09:05 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
