Security forces shot and killed two suicide bombers trying to infiltrate a meeting of 825 Somali elders debating the country's new constitution Wednesday, setting off their explosives in two thundering blasts, officials said.
The explosions killed the two bombers and wounded a Somali soldier, but no one else was wounded or killed, said Abdi Yassin, a police officer.
Interior Minister Abdisamad Mohamud said the two bombers had fake identity cards but refused to be screened by security forces, raising the suspicion of authorities.
"They sent two bombers to the assembly venue, but our heroic forces have foiled their plans and shot the two bombers," Mohamud said.
Security has improved markedly in Mogadishu over the last year, leading to a general revival of the seaside capital. But al-Shabab militants still infiltrate the city and carry out suicide attacks, particularly at high-profile events. African Union and Somali forces pushed al-Shabab fighters out of Mogadishu on Aug. 6, 2011.
The attempted attack highlights the persistent threat posed by extremists in Somalia as U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton arrives in Africa for meetings in six nations expected to focus heavily on the surge of Islamist groups in many countries - including al-Shabab in Somalia, which has links to al Qaeda.
